(6/10/03 - DECATUR, AL) — Three work-release inmates serving time for buying and receiving stolen goods are being credited with helping foil a robbery attempt at a car dealership.
Calvin Matsey, Barry Hall and Donald Harris said they knew something was odd when they found hubcaps and stereo equipment lying next to a hole in a fence separating the Decatur Country Club, where they worked, from Lynn Layton Chevrolet.
Seth Bond and Charles Wilson, both 23, were arrested and charged with auto breaking and entering last week after the inmates spotted them, ran them down, and held them at the golf course until police arrived.
The two men "just didn't seem like they belonged here," said Matsey, 41.
Matsey said Bond and Wilson were shabbily dressed and kept telling the inmates they were waiting for their uncle to finish some golf. The problem, Matsey said, was no one was playing golf.
"They weren't that smart," Harris said. You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or
