VIDEO: Watch This Unlucky Car Thief Get Hit With His Own Weapon.

By Damilola A.

There’s an old adage among car thieves (or at least, there should be) that states: “Never throw a brick at material more resilient than a brick.”

One novice Irish car thief learned this the hard way on Friday (February 27), and the video is a must-see. According to The Irish Independent, the thief was casing cars outside of The Pheasant Pub in Drogheda, Ireland, when he came upon a shiny Mercedes. He picked up a brick and chucked it at the passenger window — only the window fought back, with the brick bouncing off the window and smacking the thief right in the face, knocking him out.
