A Colombian thief was forced to learn about karma the hard way, when a bus slammed into him moments after robbing a woman of her cellphone.

The not-so-slick culprit was fortunately spared from any serious injuries and even managed to get help from the same woman he robbed only seconds ago. The repeat-offender was taken into custody after leaving the hospital, along with a few of his accomplices.

Sheesh. Let this be a lesson to you folks: look both ways when crossing the street! Oh, and crime doesn’t pay.
