A thief was in for a surprise after the owner of the car he was trying to steal emerged and pointed a gun at him.

In a viral video,the car was seen parked at a filling station while the occupant probably stepped out to the washroom.

The thief who was obviously monitoring the man’s movement quickly jumped into the driver’s seat and attempted to flee with the car.

But just then the driver came in pointing a gun at him while exchanging words with him inaudibly. Fortunately for him, the driver allowed him to go scot-free.
