Car Thief Throws a Brick, Mercedes Throws it Back

They say that people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. We’ll extend that warning to anyone within the vicinity of a Mercedes-Benz, thanks to this face-palmy closed circuit TV footage taken from outside an Irish pub. 

According to the Irish Examiner, pub owner Gerry Brady and his business partner left work late one night to find a man passed out in the road next to his partner’s Mercedes E-Class Coupe. When he came to, the man was adamant that neither of the two call the police or an ambulance. Noticing the various damage to his partner’s car, Brady called the cops and reviewed his security footage to see what happened. Take a look.

After pelting the Mercedes’ windows with a few smaller stones, the thief then graduates to a large brick, but it’s quite obvious this Mercedes just isn’t giving up without a fight. The hurled brick bounces off the Mercedes and collides with the would-be crook’s face – knocking him out cold. His new nickname a la the Internet? ‘The Thick with a Brick.’

Now that’s what you call ‘karma’…or maybe it’s ‘car-ma’. Looking to reduce car thievery in your area? We have a simple solution. Take away all the rocks and pebbles in your neighborhood. Or better yet, just buy a Mercedes.
