Screengrab from SeattleCrimeSee this guy? Don’t take his stuff.Andy McKenzie seems like a nice enough man. So long as you’re not trying to steal from him.McKenzie lives in White Center, has the generous proportions of a strip-club bouncer and favors t-shirts that say “Psycho White Boy.” He’s also quite possibly the last man a would-be robber wants to see chasing after him.On Tuesday, McKenzie was surprised to hear his car alarm going off in the middle of the morning. He grabbed a nearby machete (standard issue for anyone with a neck tattoo), headed outside and startled a young thief rooting around in his pick-up.The robber took off. So McKenzie called to his wife to grab her gun, then gave chase. They eventually caught up with the suspect mid-fence-scaling. Where, using the time-honored tactic of scaring him shitless, McKenzie was able to induce a confession, and learned that the robber wasn’t working alone.Seattle police then got reports of two other suspects walking the streets of White Center, including a young woman holding a shotgun. Later that evening, police arrested the remaining thieves in a motel room.All three are now being held on suspicion of burglary. Meanwhile, local sources confirmed today that thanks to his latest heroics, McKenzie has once-again been named “Neighbor You’d Least Want to Mess With,” a title he’s held for a record five years straight.
