Do not mess with a Harley rider! 

A very stupid thief in Dublin, Ireland chose the wrong person to rob. The thief targeted an American Harley rider from Florida visiting the emerald isle, and attempted to steal his bag. The Harley man quickly made the not-very-smooth criminal regret this, and probably all his life choices, immediately.

According to The Daily Mail, the tourist was chilling out in the busy city center when the thief tried to grab his bag and his phone. The would-be victim was described by witnesses as a big man with a Harley Davidson. He immediately grabbed the thief, punched him, tied him up with camping rope to a nearby pole, and called the police. Justice served.

Onlookers laughed and took pictures of the doofus thief, restrained and miserable waiting for his imminent arrest. He was taken into custody and is awaiting charges.

A witness told Dublin Live “The man approached him and tried to take his bag and phone, but I’d say he regrets it now.” Uh, yeah, that’s an understatement.

We love a little instant Karma, best served by a no-nonsense Harley man.
