Spider-Man Foils Comic Book Thief 40
chebucto writes "The BBC reports that 'A comic book shop owner in Australia became a real-life superhero when he caught a robber red-handed. Michael Baulderstone, who was dressed as Spider-Man for a promotional event, spied a customer behaving suspiciously during an International Free Comic Day celebration. CCTV footage shows him "leap" into action and confront the would-be shoplifter who had slipped a AU$160 (£97) X-Men book into his bag. ... He said a group of Jedi knights blocked the door to prevent the thief from escaping, as The Flash looked on.'"
The Flash wasn't looking on... (Score:2, Funny)
...he just went to summon the police then came back in the blink of an eye!

Really? News for Nerds. Get angry when they publish stories about crime being stopped in some normal way. Put on your spidey PJs and play "the floor is a hundred foot fall" while hopping from couch to coffee table when stories like this show up.
I would never do the above, of course, as I am more of a Batman fan.
Now I'm off to perch precariously on dark rooftops and leer menacingly at random strangers while having a bleak and sorrowful inner monolouge.
