Night vigil on burglars gets acclaim
The Decatur Daily

Steve Bauer wasn’t expecting calls from around the nation and from Marines overseas when he helped capture a couple who twice broke into his Athens store.

In March, Steve spent the night at his office and caught the woman after she broke in. He held her at gunpoint.

The man fled in his pickup, and Steve fired at his tires but the bullet ricocheted and hit the window of a dry cleaners. Athens police later arrested a suspect.

The Associated Press picked up Holly Hollman’s story about Steve.

Among his callers were a radio show from Des Moines, Iowa, and a group of Marines.

“The Marines said, ‘Semper Fi. Keep up the good work,’ ” Steve told Holly.
