In what can only be called 'instant karma,' this car thief actually knocks himself out with the brick he tries to use to break into this Mercedes.

This world is a jacked up place, but you know, every now and then, something happens exactly the way it should happen. This Irish car thief tried to break into a car, but the brick he used wound up bringing his demise.

The Irish Independent says that this failed car thief is being called 'The Thick With The Brick,' because when he tried to break a car window with a brick, the brick he was using bounced back, hitting him in the head.

Gerry Brady, the owner of a nearby pub, said that he and his girlfriend found the thief lying on the street with a busted face. They thought that maybe the poor dude got jumped and they tried to help him, but realized he was up to no good when he had conflicting stories on how he ended up injured.

When the owner called the police, the thief claimed that the pub owner beat him up. Only then did the surveillance video show the true stupidity of what had happened earlier in the night.
