Tina Frazer recalled with a hearty chuckle the night she helped out her neighbor.
"I was laughing, I really was," Frazer smiled.
One evening in San Diego, California's University City, Frazer said she saw a thief try to take off with some items that didn't belong to him. Particularly, she witnessed the man removing hubcaps from her disabled neighbor's car.
That didn't sit well with her, so she decided to do something about it.
When the mysterious man threw the hubcaps in a nearby bush to hide them, Frazer knew it was time for her to act.
"I snuck over. I grabbed the hubcaps because he walked down the hill, around the corner, so he couldn't see me. So, I hid them and kind of ran across the street, back in the house," Frazer explained with enthusiasm.
When the man returned to the scene, he was floored. He looked around and seemed absolutely puzzled when he realized that the hubcaps had "disappeared."
From inside her home, Frazer looked on with amusement as the man searched endlessly to find the hubcaps he had removed only minutes earlier.
According to ABC10, Frzer said, “I didn’t feel terribly unsafe or anything, I thought it was more humorous than anything.” She added, “But if we can kind of put the spotlight on this type of thing and keep this neighborhood a little more protected, then maybe I did some good.”
