Oh and Old Bridge is a good two hours from my hometown of Highland Falls, New York, so it's a really weird coincidence.

So apparently some estranged husband freaked out in New Jersey, killed his wife, and kidnapped his daughters.

http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/video?id=8469365

Completely by coincidence, he drove them to my hometown and rented a room at a motel, just as my Dad (who had watched the report), drove by on his way to work at around 4:30 AM. My Dad recognized the guy and the car he was driving and called the cops. He then proceeded to use it as an excuse to skip work because he's the man.

Here's a picture he took from across the street of the motel. You can see the red car in the background and some SWAT guys chilling in the foreground.

The cops surrounded the motel and the guy sent the two little girls out and then killed himself. Who knows what could have happened if not for my Dad.

My Dad rules.

That's really cool, although I'm not sure I'd call him a "hero" simply for remembering a news report and calling the police.

That definitely makes him a hero. Do you know how many people probably watched that same report but didn't pay enough attention to recognize the guy and car later?

My brother pulled someone out of a burning car.

But this is a great story. I always thought it'd be really unlikely that people would remember the news report about what a car/person looks like, but I guess it works!

Um... I put out a raging fire that was going to consume someone's house. Saving someone's house counts as like... half, right?

I may or may not have also started said fire.

But no this is actually a pretty cool story. Nice going Timjab's tad.

My dad is so awesome he managed to upgrade his season tickets from the nosebleeds to like the 10th row of the bottom level 15 years ago (although he had to give them up when the new stadium opened). My uncle worked at a home for tards, so my dad got some letterhead from him and wrote a letter to the Jets ticket office saying that he brought the waterheads to games with him and seats in the nosebleeds posed a safety issue. The next season we had brand new seats. It was in the section reserved for players' families so we got to sit with all the girlfriends and everything. It ruled.

Does he send that letter every year to get you moved in front of all the non-handicapped people?

Probably still only good for nosebleed seats at Jets games.
