Not sure what to file this under so I’ll give it both the WTF and Awesome tags. The above quote came from a statement made by a man who had just chased off a would-be thief from his home – now, being the UK it wasn’t with a firearm, but the guy came up with a creative alternative:
Six-foot-tall fitness fanatic Torvald Alexander, 38, was wearing a full God of Thunder outfit – complete with flying red cape and tinfoil silver-winged helmet – when he spotted the raider in his front room rifling through a desk.
Mr Alexander, who runs building firm Alexander & Summers in Edinburgh, Scotland, said the burglar threw himself out of a first-floor window [ed: that’s second floor in American] of his £350,000 home in the Inverleith area of the city when he opened the door and confronted him.
The man landed on a roof outside the window, which broke his fall, enabling him to escape.
