Never Try To Steal A Car From Najeh Davenport

If you see a car parked on the street with the engine running, you'd probably be tempted to jump in and take a ride. Just make sure it doesn't belong to Najeh Davenport, because he will chase your ass down.

Davenport was visiting a family member in a Pittsburgh suburb yesterday, when he left his 1970 Chevy Impala running outside. Twenty-two-year-old Rodney Green saw an opportunity, jumped inside and took off. But Davenport jumped in an SUV (a dump truck was sadly unavailable) and gave chase. The man demands his justice.

The chase ended when Green crashed into four parked cars and tried to flee on foot, but was "detained" by Davenport and several other witnesses until police arrived. I bet he looked good doing it too. The Impala, unfortunately, was no more.

Davenport told WTAE Channel 4 Action News reporter Shannon Perrine that he worked in a store to save $500 to buy the car when he was 15, but has since invested $35,000 to customize and restore it....

"That car was totaled in the front. It was a nice car," said neighbor Leonard Heinz.

Yeah, it was a nice car ... for him to po.... aww, nevermind.

Good point. In a lot of places you can get a ticket for that - even if your car gets stolen.

Maybe if he bought less expensive rims he could have afforded a car with locks.

I'm pretty sure the car had locks.  Let's not pretend that Najeh doesn't have a cool mil sitting in the bank.

Lots of NFL players and former players have squandered their millions. That's why I got a little nervous when I read it was a 1970 Chevy Impala...thought maybe Najeh had gone way down in the world. I was glad to see he'd invested money in it - suggests that he's doing okay.

I had to admit this, but I did wish there was a pile of poop involved, some way, some how, in the story.

I dunno. Najeh's not exactly known for making deposits in conventional places.

Especially since he supposedly saved up for it since he was 15. If the car meant that much to him why would he leave it running carelessly?

I had a 70 Chevy Impala in high school. Solid car. Ran great until my sister decided to take a left turn in front of someone and then completely wrecked the transmission. Had to junk it after that. Car was 18 yrs old at the time.

Up here you can't even leave your car unattended and unlocked or you'll risk being fined.

Because it didn't know how to run carefully!
