Thief alerts police to 'Terror' van

He may be a thief but he is still human. There is no online follow-up to explain details of the van bomb, if it was "real' and what damage it could have caused. Hopefully the thief will take this opportunity (both lack of charges filed and good publicity) to turn his life around and walk away from his criminal tendencies.

The thief took a big chance moving the van. It could have been booby-trapped to go off when started but there is no telling how many lives he might have saved by "stealing" it away to a safer location.

It was originally parked near a Muslim school. Was that the van's source or potential target? Neither would be good.
