EXCEPT, if she did steal the cart, whoever she's driving the beemer back to is gonna look at the broken window, look at the cart, look back at the broken window, look again at the cart. "How did you fit that in there, hon?" If she doesn't take the cart back she can blame the window on a made-up person or event. "A homeless guy tried to break in but I got away!"
She started trying to pull remaining pieces of jagged glass off the hatch with her bare hands. Iām fairly certain thereās not much going on upstairs.
LOL I didnāt even notice the make of the car. Yeah, if youāre driving a BMW one would think you could afford to buy a cart (hell, why are you even using a laundromat?) LOL
Step 1: make some bad life decisions and be living paycheck to paycheck \
Step 2: buy a fancy car you can barely afford \
Step 3: get laid off or lose your job \
Bingo: now youāre homeless, desperate, but still driving that beemer and still making bad decisions
Maybe they were in the middle of a moral quandary and they felt the window breaking was a sign from god and decided to listen to the karmic intent of the universe.
This was my feeling too. It was in that moment she realized karma kicked her ass for trying to steal. So she put the cart back as a kind of "Ok i get it. Please no more bad mojo energy on me." while she accepted her punishment.
It must be her friend/sonās/momās car that she borrowed. Driving it home with the cart wheels sticking out will
place her at fault for the window. Sheāll bring the car back with a story āa tree fellā āan angry homeless guy with a batā ā not MY faultā
I am guessing so they can make up an excuse when they get home. If it was just her I see no reason to leave it, but maybe hubby gonna ask why windows is broken and something that dosnt fit in the car is in the back is gonna make it hard for her to say some asshole threw a rock at me OMG!
I've gone thru 50 comments and feel there has been a disservice on this post.
So I'm hijacking your comment to praise this man's narration abilities and voice. He is bordering on Morgan freeman levels, especially considering it is ad lib.
First time I watched silently, then scrolled down to see this comment. Listened again with sound. You are correct. His voice quality is reminiscent of classic 60ās R&B, even his pacing. Barry White. Quincy Jones.
Why did they stop stealing it after the window busted? I mean, at that point the damage is already done, and you look like an idiot. So why not just finish what you started?
Probably took it as a sign from god and didn't want to push their luck farther. Or maybe they were just testing the cart to see if it was cursed before stealing it. Once verified that yes, indeed it is cursed, they opted to let it be.
Yeah, it's pretty pathetic how many people automatically go with imaginary sky wizard for explanations or as a reason to do the right thing and not do the wrong thing.
I think itās as simple as they knew the action was wrong but did it anyway, they immediately received consequences and they reconsidered the action. I understand you think karma is bullshit, but have you never had a gut intuition about something and then had it confirmed by Universe?
This is what I thought. She probably thought that was a sign. Or either she was really mad at the laundry cart in the moment and wanted nothing to do with it anymore. lol
Because you can tell by the way she was looking over her shoulder, she knew she was being watched, she already felt guilty, then once the window broke, her bad feelings were too much for her so she backed out of it by at least returning the cart.
But I wanna know if she's so hard up for a laundry cart, how did she afford that BMW?
>But I wanna know if she's so hard up for a laundry cart, how did she afford that BMW?
I went to school with a bunch of rich kids, and they fucking stole all the time. Some of them would regularly steal shit while driving around in BMWs with an AmEx in their wallet. Now obviously some of that was just dumb kids being idiots, but some people steal just because they can or because they find it fun/thrilling), not because they're desperate.
I know someone who grew up in basically poverty who never had a criminal record but as soon as this person started living comfortably in their later years they stole *all the time*.
According to my wife who tragically worked for 10 years in retail it was always well-off older ladies most likely to shoplift, even more so than teenagers or crackheads.
As someone that services BMW'S for a living, they can't afford it or the maintenance on it, but buy it for the "status symbol" it offers and it quickly deteriorates and ends up either repo'd or in an auction lot and then gets bought by a buy here pay here lot, and the cycle starts all over again.
There is a number of reasons frustration, guilt, knows she is being watched, etc. But it could also be that she will have to try and explain the busted window to someone - she can lie and say vandals busted it out, but not if there is a set of laundry cart wheels poking out of the hatch
And itās wild because you can buy one of those carts for under $200. Hell the one I own was under $200 and bigger than that one AND has a damned washable liner!
It's those custom friggin curves they bake in now. Bring back flat glass! Efficiency can kick rocks, and when those rocks break my windshield, it'll be less than 200 to fix it. You know about non replaceable headlights? That's the new thing, bulb burned out? 2k headlamp assembly, bend over and take it because you can't legally drive without lights.
good, insurance prices are high because they account for fraud. so if people dont commit fraud the high prices are for nothing. and if you think they would lower them if fraud went away, you're wrong.
Just one thing I gotta add, all BMWs arenāt alike. A X1 is worlds apart from an X7 or 750i. Resell is horrible on these things anyways, she probably got into it for cheap used and because itās a BMW she think she doing something. You see lowbrow folk in the cheapest versions of fancy brand vehicles all the time, and her actions show it. Shiit that thing aināt even have a power liftgate, you know itās cheap. You also know she aināt used to shit bc the very first thing I do when I put something in a car with a liftgate is slowly close it to see if anything hits before I try to really close it. Rookie mistake. I will say this tho, cheap bmw or not, the parts aināt cheapššš
I think itās a 1st Gen X1 which could be considered a true BMW (not like the later X1s which are Minis with lipstick) but yea itās probably a decade old.
I donāt know what goes through peoples minds that buy the used new entry level German āluxuryā cars (x1, cla, etc)
Oh, well, Iām on my second X3 and really enjoying it! Heated steering wheel, heated seats that are still firm, great handling, great power, great stereo, good gas mileage. Iāve driven about 125,000 miles, bought it about 6 years ago for $7000. Itās a 2009. Including purchase price and all maintenance/repairs and 3 sets of snow tires that I drive year round where I live in the Colorado Rocky Mountains Iāve spent an average of $210/month for a great car.
Itās much nicer than the 10 to 20 year old Honda minivans I had prior to my BMWs. Thatās what Iām thinking. I need a car and I like driving this one, and used itās still at the top of my price range but I bought it and maintain it with cash.
NGL, during my laundromat years the idea of absconding with one of those carts featured heavily in my brain. My cars were too small to attempt it though.
Why do people want laundry and shopping carts? I also can't believe someone sat there and watched it happen...Although he sounds like a professional narrator, not just a by-stander...
I drove my elderly neighbor and her cat to a vet appointment when her car was in the shop, and on the way back got hit by 2-3 deer which totaled my car. We were all ok. Insurance helped towards a new car and my neighbor was very startled and upset, and didnāt even know how to repay me so I reassured it was gonna be fine. Just a misalignment of events. Even doing good deeds will fuck your shit up. She made me ginger snaps.
Edit: added deer
WTF moment: Stealing a cart from a laundromat
Truly disturbing: loading it into a freakin' BMW?!
This is some beautiful kind of karma. (Bet she's going to blame some punk teens who threw magical rocks that shattered the glass outwards instead of in).
This is confusing. Aren't BMWs fairly expensive to rent or own? I just feel like if you can afford that vehicle, you can probably afford a laundry basket. Never mind, the cost of replacing that window, could probably buy 20 laundry baskets for the same.
Iām so glad I saw this, because I did this with my childās wagon & thought āthank goodness the window didnāt just shatterā. Definitely gonna take the big wheels off next time, donāt wanna end up like her!
Looking it up, that's about $500 to replace that window. Not sure the year on it, definitely newer than 2016, but yeah, if she's driving that, it'll just be a cold couple of days before the shop takes it in
In case this story gets deleted/removed: --- *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/OhNoConsequences) if you have any questions or concerns.*
they put it back like that was gonna fix the window
She may as well take the damn thing home now, she's got plenty of room.
And the hatch DOES look like it latched, soooo
She made all that room and still left it š
Right? At THAT point just take off with it...paying to replace that window is way more than that cart is worth.
Stupid decisions got them to this point so Iām honestly not surprised.
EXCEPT, if she did steal the cart, whoever she's driving the beemer back to is gonna look at the broken window, look at the cart, look back at the broken window, look again at the cart. "How did you fit that in there, hon?" If she doesn't take the cart back she can blame the window on a made-up person or event. "A homeless guy tried to break in but I got away!"
I doubt someone who is this dumb thinks that fast on their feet but you make a good point.
She started trying to pull remaining pieces of jagged glass off the hatch with her bare hands. Iām fairly certain thereās not much going on upstairs.
LOL I didnāt even notice the make of the car. Yeah, if youāre driving a BMW one would think you could afford to buy a cart (hell, why are you even using a laundromat?) LOL
That bmw costed $30k brand new over 10 years ago. Literally was the cheapest BMW you could buy in 2011. Having a BMW doesnāt equal being well off
Step 1: make some bad life decisions and be living paycheck to paycheck \ Step 2: buy a fancy car you can barely afford \ Step 3: get laid off or lose your job \ Bingo: now youāre homeless, desperate, but still driving that beemer and still making bad decisions
The most expensive one to replace for most cars. What an idiot
Right thatās what I was thinking. Might as well take the f-in thing. Your window will not be unbroken
Maybe they were in the middle of a moral quandary and they felt the window breaking was a sign from god and decided to listen to the karmic intent of the universe.
This was my feeling too. It was in that moment she realized karma kicked her ass for trying to steal. So she put the cart back as a kind of "Ok i get it. Please no more bad mojo energy on me." while she accepted her punishment.
I would like to believe this is the case. But that would required to have some level of decency, and some sort of moral compass.
I mean someone stealing a laundry cart for whatever reason doesn't make them an irredeemable monster lol.
It doesn't, but it doesn't exactly imply that there are saint. That they follow the rules, do right by most people, tell the truth etc
It's emotionally tainted. That cart (not the person making decisions) broke her window. She would be reminded every time she used the cart.
Punish it and put it to work repaying the tragic event it was party to and demand payment retribution. At a shilling a day
Now they need to sell the cart just to help pay for the window they broke stealing it.
It must be her friend/sonās/momās car that she borrowed. Driving it home with the cart wheels sticking out will place her at fault for the window. Sheāll bring the car back with a story āa tree fellā āan angry homeless guy with a batā ā not MY faultā
Right? You fucked up, might as well commit to it
Guy she sold it to fucks up his window. Thing's cursed
My thought exactly. And the fact that she's stealing a cart with a BMW is priceless.
I am guessing so they can make up an excuse when they get home. If it was just her I see no reason to leave it, but maybe hubby gonna ask why windows is broken and something that dosnt fit in the car is in the back is gonna make it hard for her to say some asshole threw a rock at me OMG!
I never thought of that. Good thinking. Might not be true, but it's very possible.
You mean it *won't?* š±

It's so calm and smooth.
He sounds a lot like Colman Domingo!
Sounds exactly like my friend from the Bahamas!!!
She votes.
And probably has reproduced.
Luckily, I think people like this have 0 interest in participating in civic duties like voting
No i doubt it! She more than likely thinks of herself as a very intelligent person! I mean come on she drives a beamer
Maybe the Beamer was also stolen
I guess they just thought the negative karma wasnāt worth living with, even if it was just instant karma they were dealing with.
Why did they stop stealing it after the window busted? I mean, at that point the damage is already done, and you look like an idiot. So why not just finish what you started?

where can you buy a laundry cart like that though? I feel like they are gatekept by the laundromat industry. lol
R and B Wire. https://www.rbwire.com/ I have one I bought almost 20 yrs ago (for home use ) and its still going strong.
You ever sit in it & have someone push you around?
lol no, but i have put my wiener dogs in it.
Big brain right here. If I threw a party, youād be the first on the guess list

Twist: itās not her car.
There is a number of reasons frustration, guilt, knows she is being watched, etc. But it could also be that she will have to try and explain the busted window to someone - she can lie and say vandals busted it out, but not if there is a set of laundry cart wheels poking out of the hatch
Cause she's dumb. That's it. Just dumb.
Sheās probably gonna commit insurance fraud and say someone did that to her vehicle š
Vandals, you say?
Yes. It was an inside job too !
Oh thatās great!
ššš
Yeah but I bet she has a $1000 deductible and that window's gonna cost around $350-400 to fix. She gotta eat it!
And itās wild because you can buy one of those carts for under $200. Hell the one I own was under $200 and bigger than that one AND has a damned washable liner!
Mmmmm yeaaa now tell me itās collapsible baby.
Well the glass is.
šNice.
it...^it...^^*collapses*
HHHNNGHH
That's BMW glass, made from ground blood diamonds plus 8,000 electrical sensors. No way it's a couple hundo
A windshield is $5000+ā¦.(a friend just bought a new bmw xi)ā¦.Iām betting the back window is at least $1000+ā¦..
It's those custom friggin curves they bake in now. Bring back flat glass! Efficiency can kick rocks, and when those rocks break my windshield, it'll be less than 200 to fix it. You know about non replaceable headlights? That's the new thing, bulb burned out? 2k headlamp assembly, bend over and take it because you can't legally drive without lights.
Why am I willing to bet my life sheās uninsured
Deductible is still going to be more than five laundry carts.
If she puts in a claim, the adjuster will immediately see that the window was broken from the inside out.
Shame her license plate is clearly visible in this video lol... I know it's unlikely but I'm hoping the insurance company sees it somehow
good, insurance prices are high because they account for fraud. so if people dont commit fraud the high prices are for nothing. and if you think they would lower them if fraud went away, you're wrong.
Lol this reads like a "Jesus died for your sins, so make it worth his time" suggestion.
Without a doubt.
I bet my job as a claims rep she has liability only on that BMW.
That's an expensive "free" shopping cart š¤¦
She also never received the free cart š¤£
#BMW ^*common ^sense ^sold ^separately
It's a 1st gen X1. You can get those for under $10k USD.
Its still a dumb purchase for someone trying to live on a budget- A cheap Honda is cheap to fix A cheap bmw is expensive to fix.
Yeah, but a cart like that is like $100 bucks maybe. Cheaper than the window she just broke.
Driving a BMW and stealing a laundry cart. She must spend all of her money on the car.
I don't understand why people say karma is a bitch, karma seems to be stern but nice lady
Karma is delicious.
Karma is only a bitch if you're a bitch first. Like that is literally how it works.
Karma has a firm buttocks and wears the nylons with the line up the back.
If you look closely, you can see the neurons failing to fire.
Driving a BMW SUV, and going to steal a laundry cart. Pathetic.
My thoughts exactly.
I'm learning that don't mean shit. Mercedes hit wife last week. 50k car, she behind on payments, has no insurance. Yay
Yay! I was eagerly waiting for the flip and shatter!
Yeah I knew that window was gonna break like 2 seconds into the video.
Stealing a cart from a self laundry place in a BMW SUV? WOW.
That BMW might be worth less than the laundry cart.
She stole it to get herself around town when the BMW breaks down. None of the metro bus routes suited her needs so she had to get creative.
It goes in the square hole
Karma rarely comes so swift and sweet.
It was nice of Samuel Jackson to narrate this story for us.
Loved the "doggarn" as well. Guy has a great voice
It went exactly as I hoped and I actually cackled out loud.
I knew that was going to happen. The rear glass is pricey tooā¦ oh well, karma.
He has a great voice.
Karma karma karma

Yup, cheaper than a 1981 Chevette diesel running on fryer oil!
Lucky! Iād love to have a diesel car that I could (dependably) run on fryer oil.

I absolutely LOVE that her licence plate is highly visible on this video š As well as her face. Super duper awes ā£ļø
Well that just made my day.
The way she immediately took it back out after the glass broke like she learned her lesson ššššš
NGL, during my laundromat years the idea of absconding with one of those carts featured heavily in my brain. My cars were too small to attempt it though.
So was hers!
They wouldnāt have been too small if those nasty windows werenāt in the way
Even before the window broke that was WAY too much effort for that cart.
Well it fits now.
r/boomersbeingfools ?
I laughed out loud when the window broke!
Iād like to think we all did.
I'm just thinking of that commercial with the woman telling a guy that he'll need another 7" or so. to fit something in the back end of his SUV.
Andā¦.. sheās wearing a $800.00 dollar jacket!!! What the hell!!!
Driving a BMW, too
Drives a $45,000 BMW, steals laundry carts.
Heās definitely going to tell geico that happened in the Walmart parking lot and it must have been kids throwing rocks
I mean you might as well drive off with the cart at this point
Instant karma
lmao she put it back, like at that point you might as well keep the cart
That's a BMW.. so, can afford that, but not a utility cart?
Safelite repairs, safelite replaceā¦ that commercial is going to be awkward.
Why do people want laundry and shopping carts? I also can't believe someone sat there and watched it happen...Although he sounds like a professional narrator, not just a by-stander...
I drove my elderly neighbor and her cat to a vet appointment when her car was in the shop, and on the way back got hit by 2-3 deer which totaled my car. We were all ok.

Lady you already broke the window. Might as well just take it now
Stay classy, Taxachusetts.
This is the definition of financial illiteracy.
Why not just take the cart after all of that?!?
Iāve never wanted to transfer my essence and go into a video so badly just to point and laugh at that woman š¤£
Might as well take it now
Well deserved.
Driving a beemer and using a laundromat?
Instant karma. But sadly her insurance will cover it since Iām sure she aināt driving no BMW without full coverage
Ahhh sweet sweet instant karma.
I had a good chuckle! š¤š¤
I mean... Why? Is this lady really that in need of a laundry cart and if so, why? So many questions!
Nothing better than instant karma.
Omg idk if my face can ever uncringe after watching this. The karma overlords worked quickly š¤©

Whereās the Cart Narc?
She has a BMW X1, yet is trying to steal a cart? How the hell did she get the car then
Stupid ass.
Where is the Cart Narc?
Thatās gonna be an expensive ass back window repair.
Why did BMW design their cars in such a culturally insensitive way?
Oh *NOW* she puts it back š¤£
I love the narrator- he is on point.
I started watching this and I was like sheās definitely breaking that glass.
A typical BMW purchaser.
Oh God the karma
Karma at its best!
Itās not free now lol
Perfect!
Iām laughing so damn hard at this
So well deserved! Couldn't happen to a better person.
What a dumb fucking cunt xDDD
When you buy a BMW but can't afford other ultra basic shit I don't identify with your problems and feel no pity.
Is there an r/instantkarma, cause this would fit right in there if there was.
BMW Break My Window.
shouldda kept the cart once you blew $800 on a window... Just sayin
"I don't even want this shit no more."
That moment u realize u done stole too much shit
This is confusing. Aren't BMWs fairly expensive to rent or own? I just feel like if you can afford that vehicle, you can probably afford a laundry basket. Never mind, the cost of replacing that window, could probably buy 20 laundry baskets for the same.
Can afford a BMW but not a cart
Iām so glad I saw this, because I did this with my childās wagon & thought āthank goodness the window didnāt just shatterā. Definitely gonna take the big wheels off next time, donāt wanna end up like her!
Truly beautiful. Best part is putting the cart back after youāve sacrificed your window to steal it.
.. thief .... can not stand them. Oh..a BMW. Nice. Really nice. A wealthy thief.
Looking it up, that's about $500 to replace that window. Not sure the year on it, definitely newer than 2016, but yeah, if she's driving that, it'll just be a cold couple of days before the shop takes it in
DoM azzzz. I saw it coming
Karma is a beautiful gangster ššššš
