A man in Ireland attempted to break into a car with a rock. When that didn't work, he grabbed a brick. He hurled the brick, and it bounced back and hit him in the face, and knocked the man clean off of his feet. And to complete his awful attempts at thievery, when the owner of the car (and the nearby Pheasant Pub) found the man in a pool of his own blood, he offered to call police because he thought the man was beat up, and the robber told the owner that he'd tell the cops that the he beat him up so he'd better pay up.

The cops looked at the above security camera footage, and arrested the man for attempted robbery. The owner of the car, and pub, Gerard Brady uploaded the video to YouTube with the title "The Thick With The Brick." Expect a remix soon.
