79-Year-Old Great Grandmother Followed Tow Truck, Exposed Auto Theft Ring

The great-grandmother spotted her 1999 Cadillac on the back of a tow truck after she had picked up her great-grandchildren from school.

Seventy-nine-year-old Noble Jean Napoleon followed a tow truck after she spotted her white 1999 Caddy on the back of it. And it turns out that the driver has been accused of allegedly selling dozens of stolen cars to an Oregon scrapyard.

Napoleon had picked up her great-grandkids from school in her son’s SUV when she spotted a tow truck driving by the gas station she was at with her car on the back of it, The Oregonian reported. Napoleon recognized her vehicle, which she had left parked at her apartment — and trailed the tow truck with the children buckled up in the backseat of her son’s SUV, the outlet noted.

According to The Oregonian, Napoleon took matters into her own hands, pulling up alongside the tow truck and yelling for the driver to return her car. The great-grandmother allegedly chased the tow truck through North Portland, convincing strangers to help block the truck and confront the driver.
