The owner of a Minneapolis restaurant called police after a couple ran out on a $410 bill. "I was thinking, I hope to God I see these people again," owner Thorn Pham said. Three hours later, Pham walked into another restaurant he owns and spotted the pair polishing off another expensive meal. When the couple tried to flee, Pham, a former judo instructor, chased Reginald Wilder, 43, into an alley, forced him to the ground and held him until police arrived. The other man, Lance Burrow, 20, who was dressed as a woman and wearing a wig, was arrested a half-block away. "I call it 'instant karma,'" Pham said.
