We are all inspired the stories of people with physical difficulties who, nevertheless, excel at their chosen professions. So why should this case be any different. A guy with just one leg, battling against all odds to achieve success in his field.

Well, perhaps because his “field” is grand theft, auto. Observe:

At the beginning of the video, an unsuspecting motorist (grey car) comes to a stop behind two other cars. Two late, he realizes that it is a classic set-up, and desperately tries to back away. One bandido emerges and makes for the driver’s seat. The second outlaw, sporting a handgun, takes after the reversing car…hopping on one leg! (beginning at about 0:10) The entire, successful (!) robbery is shown from a couple different angles.

It’s not hard to see why this video inspires comparisons with the Saçi Pererê, a character in Brazilian folklore.
