How Not to Break Down a Door

Monday, April 6th, 2009 • Filed under Burglaries, Caught on tape

First of all, a key works a lot better than your head. That’s a lesson I learned from experience.

Another burglar learned the same lesson when they tried to bum rush a locked door and hurt themselves in the process, according to the St. Petersburg Times.

A security camera video, which we have graciously embedded below for our viewers who have no fingerprint on their index finger due to excessive clicking, caught the whole sordid affair.

The burglar tries to break down the door by taking a “football stance,” then rushing the door head-on think he’s some kind of armchair Lawrence Taylor. The best he could hope for is the real Jason Taylor.

Instead, the door knocks him back and he writhes on the ground in pain. Doors are mean.
