Finally someone is doing what DPS and Metro won't: solve crimes.

Some of the comments after the article are hilarious.

Kudos to the kid for being proactive.

Ive gotten bike wheels stolen from me many times (even with locks) and have always wanted to hid out in bushes one night waiting for the thief to come so i could nab him.

We need more people like this, then once DPS realizes that we want them to solve and prevent crimes they might start trying to!

this guy is awesome, hopefully others will follow.

the title of this thread says it all: awesome. also, and this may be reading too much into it, but i love how he didn't even have enough confidence in DPS/MPD to include them in the stakeout...he did it all himself, THEN only called DPS (who of course called MPD...) when he had the guy.

and, to second one of the article comments, let's get this guy on the cuddler's case...he'll have him in no time...

This is great stuff, Im so happy this clown was caught. I guess free alcohol wasn't enough, he had to steal someone's ipod too.

This quote is a classic: "I am also thankful for Simon’s extreme incompetence, without which I could not have caught him"

Kick this d-bag Wu off campus immediately. What a load of crap.

His first mistake was stealing it and his second was not returning it immediately? Then what was trying to sell it on craigslist to not one but TWO different parties?

Get this clown off The Hilltop.


EDIT: Oh... and Joe Combs is my hero.

No kidding. Wu should familiarize himself with the term "crime of moral turpitude," because (assuming charges are brought and he is convicted) it's going to follow him for the rest of his life. (Just ask Doug Gottleib.) On the bright side, he'll be ineligible for jury duty in many states.

My favorite part of all of this that has gone unmentioned :

Google tells us that Simon Wu did a Senior project on "Redemption from Crime":

I can't believe how many people are defending Simon Wu and saying the Combs did the wrong thing (in the Hoya comments) - give me a break...

Yeah seriously. Wu looks like a total D-bag in the photo of the deal going down. He deserves to have the book thrown at him and AT LEAST a lengthy suspension from Georgetown.

Wow i can't believe that people are defending Wu.

Joe Coombs has inspried me. Who wants help me catch the Georgetown Cuddler. We'll have a girl leave her door unlocked, have her pretend to be asleep and hide in the closet. When the Cuddler comes in we tackle him. Problem solved.

Tremendous effort.

Would have been better if some CSI-type effort was added as well.

Can someone put this in the form of a case study, rip off 40-50 copies, three-hole punch, bind and drop off at DOPS?
