Nashville: What Do You Do If You Walk in on an Attempted Burglary?

Share This Post

Hate to be the old guy shaking his fist at the sky, but man – seems like every day, we’re turning on WKRN’s Good Morning Nashville (’cause that’s all we watch in this household) only to see some strange new crime reported. That just kinda comes with the territory when your city grows the way Nashville is growing. Still, seeing this security cam footage of an attempted burglary is pretty eery stuff!

A car salesman in Donelson narrowly missed running into a burglar at his business.

The salesman at Executive Auto, located on Donelson Pike, said the man broke in early Sunday morning, trying to find the keys to steal a car.

One of the salesmen showed up and nearly encountered the suspect.

The suspect came back the next night and stole two cars. Police recovered one but still haven’t found a 2013 Buick Enclave.

This is a wild scene.

But, hey – this is why if I walk through the apartment at night, I’m shining my damn flashlight on every corner of the house! The girlfriend may make fun of me, asking what the hell I’m doing, but guess what – nothing’s gonna sneak up on me! That’s a lie – I am notoriously oblivious at any given moment throughout the day.

How creepy is it that the would-be burglar pulls a tablet out of the drawer, and the dude sees it and just closes the drawer?!?! That’s crazy! This is like a scene from The Purge.

Okay, maybe I’m being dramatic, but I can’t help it. This weirds me out. Imagine going about your life in a completely normal fashion and not knowing that someone had just been rummaging around your belongings. In the same room, no less.

Ever forget leaving something out? Like, “hmmm….could’ve sworn I put those scissors in the drawer after I used them this morning!”

IT WAS A THIEF! AND HE WAS GONNA KILL YOU AND STEAL YOUR BEER!

I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight now.
