The CCTV footage uploaded to image sharing site Imgur showed a man in the early hours of the evening walk up the drive of a home and enter the garage.
For a couple of moments, the man disappears from view, but he soon emerges with a bike and proceeds to get on it and ride off.
But the man sorely mistakes it being the perfect time to steal the bike.
He gets on the bike but just as he begins to pick up speed he is stopped in his tracks.
The homeowner, and presumably bike owner, suddenly appears and chases after the man.
The thief manages to make it onto the road but the homeowner quickly catches him.
He grabs hold of the bike thief and pulls him down to the ground.
Both men are left in a heap on the floor, and most importantly, the thief is unable to get away.
