Huntington Beach bike thief about to crash (source Facebook)Video: "Karma" as drunk bike thief knocks teeth out on concrete bin
An opportunistic – and drunk – bike thief in Orange County, California, received a dose of what police officers are describing as “karma” after he crashed into a concrete bin, knocking several teeth out in the process.
According to a Facebook post from Huntington Beach Police Department, the unnamed man took the bicycle, which had been left unsecured by its owner outside a BJ’s restaurant at 11.50pm on New Year’s Day.
The incident was captured on CCTV, although the quality isn’t great, with police explaining that “the settings may have been off at the time it was recorded.”

Apologise for the video quality? It's fantastic! Why aren't our CCTV cameras that good?
