DROGHEDA, Ireland -- A would-be car thief in Ireland was apparently thwarted by his own weapon of choice and then thwarted again when he tried to pin the blame on someone else.
Surveillance video just posted to YouTube shows a man approach a white Mercedes sedan parked on a dark street.
The man tries to break a window by throwing something at the glass, but fails.
The man leaves and returns with a much larger item that looks like brick.
The man is then seen throwing the brick at the car's window only to have the brick seemingly bounce back and strike the man knocking him to the ground.
Irish newspaper the Independent spoke to the owner of a nearby pub who says he found the man on the street.
Brady told the newspaper the man then came to and demanded money.
The man apparently did try to tell the police he had been attacked by the pub owner. So Brady brought them the surveillance video.
The whole thing is now under investigation.
