In general, experts advise that, if something is being stolen from you, you should just let it happen. I know, it sucks, but no matter what’s being taken from you, it’s better to let it go than risk the thief having a gun and you losing your life over a motorbike.

But try telling that to the Aussies!

When this dude heard his truck being stolen, he didn’t want to wait around in the hopes that the police would be able to retrieve it. Instead, he flew out into his backyard (not wearing a shirt — this is Australia, after all) and decided to pry the steering wheel out of the driver’s hands himself.

Unbelievably, his wild scheme actually worked.

Shoutout to his partner for hitting the dude over the head with that handy wood board!
