In a peaceful neighborhood, a man catches a woman and her child stealing vegetables from his greenhouse. When confronted, the woman claimed to be friends with the owner, but the owner did not know. The man refused to let her leave with the stolen food and pressed charges. The woman’s Facebook friends call him an a**hole, but most people agree with the man. Would you have done the same thing, or would you have let her go with the food?

Man catches woman stealing from his greenhouse, presses charges
A man catches a woman and her young child picking vegetables from his greenhouse, and when confronted, the woman claims to be friends with the owner. The man then gives her two minutes to leave the vegetables and depart or have the cops called on her. The woman ultimately leaves the food with the man, but not without breaking a pot and yelling at him. Although the woman’s actions were wrong, she now labels the man as an ‘a**hole’ for his actions. What do you think? Was the man justified in pressing charges, or should he have let her go with a warning?
