A Texas car thief was recently caught in action trying to steal belongings from a parked car. Unfortunately the car belonged to 6’5”, 210-pound jiu-jitsu champ Haisam Rida.

“I was just taking a nap inside the office, and I think I might have left the car door unlocked, you know, my mistake. I footswept him, he fell to the ground, but kept trying to move, trying to escape, so, I rear naked choked him from behind,” Rida said.

Instead of leaving the scene with stolen goods, the theif left on a stretcher and a couple of criminal charges.

“Whatever I would have done to him, I would have had full rights, but I didn’t, I just held him down and handed him over to the cops,” Rida said.
