The owner, when he found the car missing, went to report the matter, accompanied by his daughter.

On their way they saw the car being driven by the two youths.

The daughter stood in front of the car while the father got it, ordered the two culprits into the back and promptly drove them to the police.

In court their solicitor described the incident as ‘a fair cop.’
