While the clip does involve plenty of hooning and even includes a let's-run-a-red-light moment, this isn't a street racing episode. Instead, we're dealing with amateur footage captured by an enthusiast who spotted his friend's stolen Evo and decided to chase it. And we must thank Redditor RhythmOwnz  for bringing this to our attention.

The adventure took place in Calgary, Canada and we'll use the Youtube description posted by the man to let you know how it all started: "I was on my way home from work one night after being told a buddies car had been stolen the timing of the entire night had all been luck to keep seeing this idiot taking the car for a joy ride,"

Since his car, an S13 Silvia powered by the respectable SR20DET mill, was quick enough for a pursuit, the guy instantly started chasing the thief.

Speaking of the guy who stole the car, the man's behavior raises many questions, even for a thief - for one thing, stealing such an eye-catching car and simply going for a joyride not far from where the crime was committed doesn't seem like the smartest plan.

Fret not, go-fast machine lovers, we can tell you no Evos were hurt in the making of this video

The Silvia driver kept his cool, maintaining a safe distance throughout the chase. And with the police having been announced, it was a matter of minutes until the story turned into a happy ending one.

To be more precise, the thief was pulled over and arrested on the spot. As for the rally-bred Mitsubishi, the Evo was recovered, reportedly without any signs of damage.
