Badass Of The Day: Dad In Spongebob Underwear Takes Down Alleged Car Thief

The dad who took down an alleged car thief in nothing but his Spongebob underwear is our Badass Of The Day. It's not the typical badass attire but whatever works!

The incident happened in Western Australia. When you think of badasses you probably think of tough guys in leather or biker attire (or is it just me?). You don't picture them in Spongebob underwear, that's for sure. However, not every hero or badass is the same. They can wear whatever they want. According to Daily Star, Dean Bathurst jumped into action when they saw a man acting suspiciously outside. His daughter raised the alarm when she reportedly saw the man pulling wires from the dashboard of the car. That's when the 57-year-old dad jumped into action...wearing nothing but his Spongebob underwear.

Despite his attire, he was able to bring the suspect down! Impressive! The 31-year-old suspect was arrested and charged with armed robbery, deprivation of liberty, unlawful and indecent assault, and stealing 2 vehicles, per Daily Star.
