The Reliable Source scoops everyone with perhaps the first heartwarming story about a former mayor Washington has ever been treated to. Anthony Williams personally stopped a thief on K Street yesterday afternoon. He was apparently walking by when he saw a guy nab a package from a UPS deliverman’s hand truck. Our newly dubbed “Mr. Bow Tie” crime fighting superhero immediately started running after the culprit, catching up with him and getting the stolen package back.

“You used to be the mayor,” said the surprised thief, who simply handed over the box of computer parts.

The man walked away; Williams said he started after him while looking for a police car but decided not to restrain him. The man slipped into the crowd as passersby asked Williams what had happened. “I’m just fighting crime in the city,” he told them.

Hot. This seems like a really excellent job for the former mayor to take on. Williams already has a costume (the suit and bowtie are perfect), but can we get his H Street condo outfitted with some sweet gadgetry?
