Robin Bates
Dunedin Crown solicitor Robin Bates was woken by his dog barking shortly after 1am yesterday to discover "two intoxicated students" taking a couple of large recliner sunloungers from his central Dunedin home.
The pyjama-clad Mr Bates decided to chase them in his car, and caught up with the pair a few blocks later.
"When I stopped the car they took off, and I recovered the chairs a short time later."
Mr Bates said he took note of the pair and was likely to recognise them if they ever appeared in the Dunedin District Court.
