Life has been quite the bitch for this guy.
According to UPI, a would-be car thief’s plans were thwarted last week when a brick he threw at a Mercedes ricocheted off the passenger side window and knocked him out.
The attempted theft took place outside of the Pheasant Bar in Drogheda, Ireland, and surprisingly, the Mercedes belonged to the owner of the pub.
Gerry Brady said he found the failed thief “bleeding on the ground next to his car,” and his initial thought was that somebody had attacked him. But when he helped himself to his feet and demanded $56 for cab fare, Brady knew something was up.
“I said, ‘Not a chance, I’ve to pay for a new window, mate,'” Brady told a local newspaper. “That’s when he leaned in and told me he’d burn me out of the pub.”
The would-be thief reportedly had the stones to tell police that Brady attacked him, but Brady said the cops were “in stitches” after viewing the security footage, and they arrested the perp shorty afterward.
