To those among us who have been the victims of property crime (specifically with regard to our automobiles), there might not be much amusement to be had in the various car break-in videos that circulate online. For the rest of us, its only funny until someone gets hurt And then its hilarious (most of the time). The following are the most astonishing videos of criminals breaking into cars, courtesy of the Internets most popular video posting website:

Its a nice, sunny day, and Michelle, Amy and their beagle have locked their keys in the car. However, as the girls point out, the sunroof has been left open and Amys going to try to go through it in a skirt! She climbs up the hood, over the windshield and into the little red car, where she retrieves her purse, and in it her car keys. If nothing else, its cute.

There are a boatload of police bait car videos. Many of these are provided to the infotainment industry by the cops themselves. They set up a car with video cameras, rigged with a tracking device and an engine that can be remotely shut off, and wait for the low-hanging fruit of the underworld. In this particular video, the criminal mastermind behind the steering wheel starts wailing like a banshee when the red and blue lights appear in the rear-view mirror.

This video, shot from a sensible distance, demonstrates how humans are losing ground in the evolutionary race. A black bear, drawn by the slovenly habits of construction workers, has roamed onto a jobsite and approached the trucks in the muddy parking lot. Bears have been known to smash out windows, but not this one: Standing upright, the bear gingerly slides his claws under the door handle and opens the door. Not satisfied, the bear then goes to the next truck over and does it again. Funny. And scary.

There are always going to be fake or staged videos purporting to be car thefts. This one has the ring of truth to it you can hear it in the camera guys voice. A young suburban fellow is car surfing by coasting his car down the road, leaping onto the hood for some un-serious Teen Wolf action. As he is taking a breather, riding on the trunk of the car, a shadowy figure bursts into the frame from the sidelines, leaping into the car while its rolling and taking off in it. If its real, its too much. If its a made-for-Web production, its still pretty funny.

This video details a car theft that took place in the suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona. With a number of police cars already in a parking lot, a white male, shaved head, white T-shirt jumps into a parked Chevrolet and squeals away. The police are in pursuit before he can even get it out of Park. As they say, LOL:

This viral video documents the efforts of an up-and-coming TV journalist. Hes trying to demonstrate how easy it is to smash a car window, with a hammer. The only problem is that the window doesnt want to break; it actually slides down into the door frame before it breaks. When he tries a different window, it breaks, all right and cuts his finger quite badly in the process. Yes, theres only one word for it: Fail!
