What can be called as a karmic lesson, a thief got a rap on the head from… well… the universe, when he broke into a doughnut shop. CCTV footage from the store is being shared on Facebook shows how a thief slipped and hit his head while fleeing with the cash register and a box of cash in Port St Lucie, US. According to media reports, a patrol officer of the Port St Lucie Police Department was on duty on April 8 at around 9.30pm local time, when he saw a light-post knocked over. Intrigued, he pulled over to check it out and saw that the front door of Dixie Cream Donuts was smashed open. While there have been many hilarious instances where thieves have faced some unexpected resistance to their “job”, in this case, the hurdle was not enough to prevent the burglary.
