What comes around goes around. And sometimes, it comes around much quicker than you expect.

This thief in Columbia thought he’d come up with a great way to steal a woman’s purse. And everything seems hunky dory for him until a big ol’ bus got in his way and mowed him down.

Amazingly, the thief only suffered minor injuries, proving karma may have turned its head when he made his getaway. And in further misplaced karma news, the woman he robbed was actually the one who pulled him to safety.

Now, that’s a forgiving woman.
