A bag snatcher got a taste of his own medicine in Malaysia recently.
A video has appeared of a mugging victim taking off on the thief's scooter after he robbed her bag.
The clip shows the woman walking down an alleyway as the assailant pulls up on a moped nearby, before he jumps off his bike and pounces on her while brandishing a weapon.
However, the forgetful crook runs off and leaves his bike unattended long enough for his victim to hop on and zoom off.
We then see the panicking mugger chase after her in vain.
As one Facebook commenter said on the original post, it was "justice on the spot".
