Instant Karma: Burglar Hits His Head, Drops Cash Register While Fleeing

Police at Port St. Lucie in Florida, USA, are searching for a clumsy thief who hit his head and dropped the cash register while fleeing a doughnut shop.

The Port St. Lucie Police Department said an officer passing by Dixie Cream Donuts at 11:37 pm Sunday noticed that the front door of the shop had been smashed and the light post knocked over, reports CBS 12.

Surveillance cameras at the shop revealed that a burglar had used a hammer to smash the front door and enter the shop. He tried to leave the shop with a cash box, the cash register and a bag.

Footage shows him hitting his head on the door and a magazine stand, causing him to drop the cash register on his way out of the store. The police did not specify how much cash he managed to get away with.

"Karma hit him when he hit his head on the stand," said Master Sgt. Frank Sabol.
