WOW, that sounds like a pretty scary ride. Glad you were able to get the info and call it in. Take care of yourself on your day off that was a stressful event.

In hindsight, I was just trying to keep them in view, more than anything else. I didn't know they were thieves at that point. I knew they were jerks, and would possibly throw more stuff if they could. After they passed and I couldn't see them anymore, even though I had already called the police, I was pretty nervous. At that point, I was checking every parking lot, every side street, afraid if they got behind me, they'd be in a good position to do something else.
What a bunch of idiots to draw attention to themselves while having stolen stuff in their car. Mean idiots. I hope they get what they deserve.
ETA, thanks for all the kudos, everyone! Still feeling good this morning.

Wow...just, wow. You really saved the day. I can't even imagine how you felt as all that was going down. Amazing.

Wow! What a gal! You go get 'em - nobody but nobody should ever mess with a mad redrhodie ever again. What courage you have. You felt like you were being bullied and you stood up to it and uncovered a crime spree and made those responsible for it accountable in the process. You are now an official Hero!
This turned out very good and it could have turned out very bad, I'm glad you are okay and had no harm come to you. (besides an adreline crash today).
Congratulations on following your instinct.
