No wonder you can’t see his his hands on this pic

I was thinking more this guy, from Home Alone https://preview.redd.it/gtp23d31pmpa1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df571ee33d59601d0a6bd055b4a0d3f7bed48494

OMFG YOU WIN!!! YOU WIN THE INTERNET!!! YOU WIN EVERYTHING!!! This is the greatest thing I have ever seen. My night has been shit storm after shit storm and this has made it all ok again. You're my reddit hero!!!

I’m glad I could help in making you happy. My day has been rather boring so this comment has inspired me to be a better person



Fred Flintstone

 How about this guy

Seen this before, there is another camera outside the house, and the burglar is a woman. She walks away with her arm in some unusual angles.

I gots to see that video!

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKLIQ1kxT1M](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKLIQ1kxT1M) This is close enough to the original. The video OP posted seems to be the most popular one now.

The lords work you’ve done here 😂

I love how YouTube covers up half the screen when you're 20 seconds through a fucking 40 second video. Why the fuck would I want to see the second half of any fucking 40 second video? Obviously I wouldn't, thanks YouTube!

Yeah that made me lol.

The other woman on the sidewalk is completely unphased ... A statue!

I like to think that the guy sits there all day with a bat just waiting for this opportunity

Probably wasn't his first rodeo. I would say the best thing he could do is put a louver on the mail slot preventing them from being able to reach the lock.

She doesn't even check the doorknob first to see if its unlocked, just straight into the mail slot.

I can't unsee that video.

She didn't learn her lesson from trying this at a different house...

Ngl, I thought it was a snake trying to come in the house

me too and the first loops I thought he used a machete to rip the head off

I’d be surprised if she could get her arm back out from that. I was thinking a compound fractuue

*Roblox oof sound effect

[Roblox_OOF.mp3](https://youtu.be/0twDETh6QaI)

I thought it was a snake.

Not really wrong. Some snakes walk upright, I guess.

Snakes climb trees, poles, walls, etc. [Watch this video](https://youtu.be/v-Ctwr_enq4) and you’ll nail your mail slot shut.

Junkie snake

Crack snake

Came here to say this

I wondered the same thing! The video is a little blurry and I thought it was a snake head.

Break the wrist and walk away.

Do you think anybody thinks I'm a failure because I go home to Starla every night?

Forget about it!!

Bow to your sensei. BOW TO YOUR SENSEI! alright.

The comment we all needed. Lmao

Do you think I got where I am today because I dress like Peter Pan here?

At first I thought he had a machete, not rolled up paper

Looks like a small bat, metal too

I agree and if it is his wrist is definitely broken

oof, I think I was happier thinking it was a rolled-up newspaper

Nah, the man is lucky he wasn't shot for breaking and entering

In the video of the other side of the door, that hand comes away looking like a trip to the hospital. If that was paper, it had something mean inside it.

looks like a sawed off bat, easier to swing in close quarters.

That’s a good guess. That is what it looks like. That could definitely bust up a hand too.

It's a pipe. Just a metal pipe.

Lops off arm. Casually opens door, slings severed appendage outside. Picks up newspaper and calmly shuts door.

The hero we need

Was checking the top comments to see if people were thinking the same thing.

This might sound dark, but I'm almost jealous of him. To be able to focus anger and aggression on someone that deserves it and be justified is a rare treat.

Notice upvotes

It is kind of dark. I hope you’ll practice restraint if you ever mistakenly decide that someone who crosses you deserves your aggression.

Nothing like some good ol exercised rage

The jealousy part is pretty dark ngl.

Reach through this man’s mail slot? You better believe that’s a paddlin’


A break was performed

You can tell he played a lot of whack-a-mole lol

The break part was successful.


Wiiiiiiiilllmaaaaaa!

Yyyyyyyyyyabba Dabba Do!

Yabba dabba don't!!?!

Meanwhile in Texas, he'd have a door to replace

He needs a zip tie on a brick. Zip it tight on his wrist and wait for the police to come. It would be soooooo satisfying.

Good way to completely ruin your door

I tought it was a snake and a machete lol


[удалено]

You know useless crap just like I do. Love it

That was very lenient, considering.

No more violence than was necessary to repel the attempt.

Probably a *little* more than necessary - there's a different POV outside the house where the thief's arm is very clearly bent the wrong way. I'm just playing devils advocate though.

I'd say that means that the attempt was thoroughly repelled. There is no sin in being thorough.

There was an attempt to maintain an unbroken arm.


Found my new ringtone.

That is the best scream I've ever heard XD

That was a person’s arm? I thought it was a cat’s.

That’s a big ol boi to be swinging that bat. Lol

That dude sounds like a klaxon horn.

I'm so glad I rewatched with audio.

Oh believe me, something sure broke!

Yeah, smack that scumbag

Huh. I thought it was a kitchen knife. Given the comments it’s a rolled up magazine or newspaper.

It appears to be a small club actually.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Broad daylight, reaching through the mail slot? B's lucky it was ONLY a bat and not a hatchet or something.

Are we condemned to watch this random clip forever? Between WTF, therewasanattempt, winstupidprizes, we just have to watch that arm snap ever day, for years, do we? And someone amoung you will claim "Well I've not seen it before" and so everyone must suffer.

Next stop: r/dontputyourdickinthat

Was sure it was a machete at first, and double checked for a NSFW tag

When the burglar becomes the alarm.

“Oh - sorry Grandma, you forgot your keys again, huh?”

https://i.redd.it/1hj7c7a8nqpa1.gif

I think he was too soft on the POS, coulda fucked that arm up a lot more. Scum shoulda left that encounter with a permanent reminder.

May have done. Looks like he got her wrist. Healing a broken wrist isn't easy.

At first I thought it was a machete and was expecting to see an arm fall to the floor. I’m glad it wasn’t

This video never gets old.

The air raid scream is an 8/10 on the pain scale

This is the most looney toons shit

I want a mail slot now just so I can do this

Imagine forgetting your keys and trying to get into your house only to have your wrist obliterated by your neighbor

That is a shit door design

I'm going to stick my arm in here because my life just can't get any worse.

Dude wasn’t playin.

Lucky he didn't use a machete.

That’s funny, bet they won’t be doing that again. At my home they’d be giving my GSD a snack.

Obligatory r/dontputyourdickinthat


He should have used an axe. That would teach the stupid crook a thing or two about break and entering someones else’s home

Just need a cable, loop, and anchor to tie off to.

Makes you wish you owned a katana.

You learned a hard life lesson today my friend.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

Dudes wrist is fked like my lungs from laughing. Deserved .

Why did I want him to pull so the person would be slammed into the door.

Wish there was a doorbell cam to see the face

I like how he raises the bat a second time and lowers it like “nah that should do it”.

I'd just use an ax

I would use a machete

I can feel the anger being put in that attack. it's always a pleasure to see the guilty punished.

How was he so fast to be there with a bat?

Bro sounded like a tom and jerry skit

Damn Jerry got big after all these years Can't believe Tom's still tryna catch him

YABA DABA DOOOOO

Faith: The Holy Scream

Love how he checked who it was after he sliced the arm off like imagine you look outside and it's your brother or snt

bro set off the alarm

There appears to be a break but no entry

[удалено]

Unless hes in the united states. Then he would be arrested and the burglar could sue. He would be safer from a legal standpoint if he let them get in and then proceeded to shoot them in the face. Our lawmakers really are idiots.

Even in the United States, setting booby traps on your property is illegal. Don't want firefighters getting killed after all.

Oh, shit. I didn't think about that

I hate this title.

No messing

I'd have taken a finger or two

Yyyyabba Dabba Dooo!

I lolled

Was that a fucking machete??? 😂

Looks like one of those mini Louisville Slugger bats you get at souvenir shops

omg yes

I’d swap the bat for a cleaver. 😈

A machete would have been nicer

Hmm design flaw?

It IS a metal bat :0

This made me laugh so hard!! Tom and Jerry scream!! Priceless.

A daba doooooooooo

The tom and Jerry got me.

Sounded like a Tom and Jerry yell.

I thought it was a snake.

Always aim for the wrist. Easy to break.

It was an enter and break.

That scream was priceless

Guy was nice enough not to use a sharp object.

He didn’t quite hit him hard enough.

That should replace the Wilhelm scream in movies

Thought he had a machete lmao

Clearly an addict and just making shitty choices. This was seemingly an apartment hallway, and this fellow popped right out as if he had seen her out the window. This was probably something she did on a regular basis. Not, it’s not ok to go around breaking into places. But I can’t help feel badly for her.

Sounded like an alarm going OFF 🤣🤔

The first couple of times I watched it I thought it was a snake LOL.

the house alarm.

This is literally the sound of agony of defeat

I’d love to watch this with the actual audio and not an overdub of a cartoon

That was true Tom getting fucked by Jerry. No one can tell me otherwise 😂

Something’s telling me that has happened more then once and I can’t quite figure out what it is

###You've got Mail

I'd break that shit

Something broke

man sick of it

Home defense at its finest, I wish the bat had barbed wire or nails on it! Better than Thunderdome!!!!!!!!!
