Guy and a friend were looking over pictures at a photo shop, when suddenly her purse was snatched off of the counter. Guy ran out of the photo shop and down a main avenue chasing the thief who had gotten on a bus. Luckily the bus stopped at a light, Guy caught up with it, and got on. When he exited the bus, he had the purse in one hand and the perpetrator in a headlock. People cheered him on, yelling: "Well done Sebastian!" The thief was turned over to the local authorities, and his friend was very grateful to have her purse back.
