This video of an unfortunate burglar has earned him the moniker ‘thick with a brick’.

He was found by the owner of the car he threw a brick at, lying in a pool of his own blood.

He was trying to smash his way into Gerry Brady’s car outside his pub in Drogheda, but the brick he was using bounced back, hit him on the head, knocking him clean out.

Mr Brady told the Irish Independent: ‘When I saw him, he was lying there stone cold on the ground and his face was in ribbons.

‘My first thought was that “this guy is after getting the **** knocked out of him”, while my girlfriend said it must have been a hit and run.’

The man tried to threaten Mr Brady, telling him he would ‘burn you out’ and that he would tell police he had beaten him up.

But Mr Brady’s good name was kept in tact by the video footage that showed the would-be thief’s KO.
