LOS ANGELES, CA — A would-be car thief was foiled by the unexpected appearance of a most intimidating member of the local neighborhood watch — a wild coyote. A security camera captured the hilarious encounter, and the video has since gone viral.
In the video, a man is seen attempting to pry open a vehicle on a residential street. Suddenly, a coyote runs toward the man, and the burglar flees in terror. Afterward, the man is shown hiding behind other parked cars, checking to see when the coast is clear so he can properly hightail it out of there.
