Fearless mother gets satisfying revenge on burglars who she caught stealing little boy’s piggy bank
A fearless California mother punched a hole in the back windshield of a burglar’s car after a group of thieves stole her son’s piggy bank.
Kiara Ortiz was pulling up to her Torrance home when her son asked her who the men were who were coming out of the residence on July 26 around 2pm.
‘When I looked over, I saw one of them with my kid’s piggy bank,’ she told ABC 7.
The fearless mom didn’t wait to jump into action as she took off after the burglars on foot, recording them as she went.
They fled to a green BMW that had a getaway driver inside, police said.
As the personal trainer neared their getaway vehicle, the mom punched a hole through the back passenger-side window with her bare hands.
‘I saw the guy kind of reach over for something, so I backed up a little bit went around the car and hit the windshield, the window,’ she told the outlet.
The vehicle and the burglars managed to escape and Ortiz was left with a mess to deal with.

The inside of her home was completely ransacked. Her jewelry, at least $100 in cash, and a firearm that had been pried out of a lockbox had been taken.
‘I feel very violated, very angry,’ she said.
To make matters worse, despite her son being able to capture a photograph of the license plate, it turned out to be swapped plates that were not registered to the vehicle.
Another blow is that the thieves got away with the piggy bank.
But at the end of the day, Ortiz is just glad her family is okay.
