You may call it a weed eater, a weed whacker or a weed trimmer … a Gardner in Texas calls it a “crime fighting tool.”

A Gardner in Houston saw a man trying to steal equipment from his truck while he was attending to a lawn.

The Gardner went after the man throwing his weed eater at him and causing him to fall out of the get-a-way car he was attempting to get in. The man was then chased by the Gardner who had picked up his weed eater and was swinging it at the thief.

The thief did manage to eventually get away. However, the man was located at a local hospital getting treatment for minor injuries from the incident and was arrested by local police.
