Thief tries to steal St. Michael the Archangel statue from church — then karma strikes with great vengeance



A would-be robber nearly pulled off the theft of a St. Michael the Archangel statue from a church in Mexico. However, the pilfering was thwarted by one consequential misstep by the thief.

During the early hours of Jan. 14, a man broke into the Christ the King Parish in Monterrey, Mexico, approximately 150 miles from the border with Texas. Carlos Alonso, 32, reportedly hopped over a fence, smashed a glass door, and broke into the Christ the King Parish.

The man tried to steal a statue of St. Michael the Archangel. According to local reports, the thief was intoxicated during the attempted robbery.

While attempting to steal the holy statue, Alonso allegedly tripped and fell on top of Saint Michael's sword. During the stumble, the man seriously injured his neck.

ABC Noticias said, "The tip of the Archangel's sword pricked the neck of the alleged 32-year-old thief." The Mexican media outlet called the thief's karmic self-sabotage "a matter of divine justice."

A passerby witnessed the severely injured man clutching his neck at the church and called for emergency medical help.

The Catholic News Agency reported, "Monterrey Civil Protection personnel arrived at the scene, cut the padlock on the main gate of the fence, and saved the would-be thief’s life."

The man initially declined medical treatment for his wounds. However, the drunk man was taken to a clinic for medical treatment of his injured neck.

Monterrey Police will reportedly turn over Alonso to the public prosecutor's office once he is out of the hospital. The statue of St. Michael the Archangel was unharmed. The owner of a store that sells religious items across from the Christ the King Parish believes that karma struck down the would-be thief.

"That happened to him for doing bad things," the store owner said. "Saint Michael is for protection, to combat evil, I think that’s why that happened to him."

A neighbor added that St. Michael the Archangel is "the great protector."

Saint Michael is an archangel, protector, and leader of the army of God against the forces of evil. Saint Michael is often depicted with a flaming sword and scales of justice.

St. Michael triumphantly defeats Satan and his hordes, banishing them from heaven, according to the Bible.

Revelation 12:7-10:

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found anymore in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the Earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."

Police say a man trying to steal a catalytic converter was crushed to death when the car fell on top of him



Police in Anaheim, California, say that a suspected auto parts thief was killed when he was crushed by a car whose catalytic converter he was trying to steal.

The incident was reported to police about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Witness Sean Harp, who works at a business at the complex where the man died, described the grim scene to a news cameraman.

Harp said that a "pretty frantic" person went into the business where he worked to tell him that someone had been crushed under one of their vehicles outside. They called 911 and went to investigate.

"So I walked down there and I saw what appeared to be a caucasian gentleman with his torso underneath the vehicle with his feet and limbs, legs exposed, and it was evident that he was crushed," Harp said.

"You know in recent weeks we've had a rash of catalytic converters stolen out of the complex here," he added.

Harp said he saw a cordless Sawzall cutting device next to the man, and it appeared that the car fell because the small scissor jack holding it up was poorly secured.

Harp said what he saw was "really indicative of people going in underneath vehicles and just cutting parts off that they need and selling it."

Thieves target catalytic converters because they can resell precious metals from their components. Officials say that catalytic converter thefts skyrocketed by 400% in 2020 from the previous year.

Police said that a catalytic converter and a power saw were found in a vehicle that crashed after a police chase in nearby Garden Grove. The two drivers died in the crash and also caused the death of an innocent bystander.

Catalytic converter thieves target Toyota Priuses because they carry more of the valuable metals, and also midsize SUV vehicles because they are easier to get underneath, owing to their higher carriage. Some car owners thwart converter robberies by adding security devices to their cars.
