Alan Heuss’s BMW was stolen from him at gunpoint outside a south side restaurant in Columbus Ohio. Seven hours later police caught the car thieves red-handed thanks to a clever plan concocted by one of Heuss’s friends.

The friend figured anyone who would stick a gun in someone’s face and order him to get out of the car then drive away with the car would probably also jump at an opportunity to party with hot chicks and snort copious volume of cocaine. So he suggested sending a text message to Huess, whose cell phone was still in the stolen vehicle, and claiming to have a bunch of hot chicks and drugs waiting, inviting him to come party and providing him with an address of where the party was going down.

The ploy worked. The thieves took the bait and showed up to party. Unfortunately for them it was police waiting and not the hot chicks and drugs they were expecting.
