Man on his first plane ride spots his home being burglarized

BAY, Ark.—An Arkansas man who wanted to capture aerial photos of his home during his first plane ride instead helped catch two men burglarizing it.

Steven Lynn said he could see the two taking items from his house. "I looked down, and sure enough, there was a truck hooked onto a trailer, and guys were loading stuff up," Lynn told The Jonesboro Sun. "It didn't seem to faze them that we were buzzing over in an airplane; we got down pretty low."

Lynn called an uncle who lives nearby and then 911.

Craighead County Sheriff's deputy Phillip Wheaton said the two men unloaded the trailer and left the scene when the uncle arrived. But the pilot and Lynn's uncle followed them until they were stopped near Bay, Ark., a small town near Jonesboro, by Wheaton and two other officers.

"They were giving us turn-by-turn directions and giving us a description by county road," Wheaton told television station KAIT.

4. Reminds me of a story about some city planners working in an office tower in Harlem

While looking over the panoramic view of the tenements below them, they spotted some guys breaking in through the roof of one of them. They broke out their city planning maps, pinpointed the building, and called in its address to the cops -- who greeted the thieves as they were making their escape!
