Ozzy proves there really is no rest for the wicked as he goes up against a thief.

A burglar recently invaded Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s English mansion. Not one to sit idly by, the Prince of Darkness tried to take matters into his own hands. Check out how the burglar stacks up against Ozzy.

Ozzy jumped up and tackled the burglar, despite having undergone intense surgery last year after a quad bike injury, which broke his collarbone, eight ribs, and a vertebra in his neck

A+

Burglar escaped Ozzy’s quavering grip, jumped out of a 30-foot-high window, and took off running. We commend his efforts there, but he loses points for using a ladder to get in (that’s just plain lazy).

B-

Ozzy offered a reward of $190,000. Considering the high cost of the stolen valuables and their acknowledged sentimental value, perhaps he could have offered a bit more.

C

Burglar took $2 million worth of jewelry--a lot of bling compared to the meager bounty Ozzy put on his head.

B

The stolen goods included rare gem investments: a sapphire necklace, a pearl necklace, a daisy chain necklace, a Frank Muller watch, and Sharon’s wedding rings.

B

Burglar stole the sapphire that the Osbournes called "one of the only 24-carat sapphires that is absolutely pure." Burglar by night, gem connoisseur by day?

A

We’ve all seen the way Ozzy hobbled around on The Osbournes reality show, but in spite of this, he tackled the burglar with no harm to himself.

A

Officials say the burglar probably sustained damage from the 30-foot fall.

C

Ozzy tried to hold the burglar till the police arrived. We call this a better use of common sense, than, say, grabbing a gun.

A

The burglar used "thief sense" by donning a ski mask and sneakers, but he wore a light-colored, easy-to-spot jacket, and the ladder he used was clearly not the quick getaway method he needed. Adding to the confusion is the fact that he robbed them while they were asleep in the same room.
