A MAN has been branded the world's worst car thief after he threw a brick at the window of a Mercedes Coupe - only for it to bounce back and knock him out.
The owner of the car found the would-be thief unconscious in a pool of blood outside The Pheasant bar in Drogheda, Ireland. CCTV footage from the pub, showing what had happened, has now gone viral.
