EXCLUSIVE Woman captures moment brazen 'thief' tries to break into car while filming TikTok video
Madison Bush, 19, was cleaning her room on Tuesday and recording a video for a friend when she noticed a man and woman standing outside her home in what appeared to be a heated argument.
But the scene quickly took a dramatic turn as the hairdressing student from Ashurst, Kent, glanced out of the window, only to spot the man allegedly trying to break into her mother's car in broad daylight.
Acting on instinct, Madison threw open her window and confronted the suspected thief, interrupting the brazen attempt as the situation unfolded just metres from her family home.
Speaking to MailOnline, the 19-year-old said: 'I was just sending a video to my boyfriend's sister of me cleaning my room and jamming and saw the two people outside.
'It was a man and a woman, and they were standing outside my house, and it looked like they were arguing.
'I thought nothing of it at first because they walked awa,y but then the guy came back around my house.
'He tried the door to my [mum's] car, and I literally had the adrenaline rush of opening my window to shout at him.
'He was clearly trying to find any cash or things of value that he could take because he wouldn't have been able to take the car without the keys.'
In the video, which was shared on social media, the man, wearing a black hoodie, black trousers and some white trainers, seemingly tried to open the car.
After seeing this, she quickly opened her window and shouted: 'Erm... Excuse me.'
At this, the man casually walks away, and when she tries to get his attention, he lifts his hand, which prompts her to say: 'Thought so mate, keep walking.'
She said: 'When I shouted at him, he just lifted his hands up as if to say he didn't have anything.
'I would have gone out to speak to him, but he just walked away.'
The 19-year-old explained: 'A lot of stuff happens in my area. I guess there are just some idiotic people who think they can do whatever they want to do.
'It's quite scary that they feel like they can do this in broad daylight. I can't understand why people do it.
'He looked like a crack head.
'If I hadn't been there, I don't know what would have happened, but I am glad I was there.'
Despite the shocking encounter, she did not report this to the police, saying: 'If something had been stolen, but because he just walked away, I didn't.'

Sam Walker 'arrested as armed cops storm hospital during birth of his child'
Social media influencer Sam Walker claims he was arrested by armed police in hospital while his child was being born - then forced to spend four hours in a police cell before being released A man claims he was detained by armed police in hospital while his child was being born. Merseyside Police confirmed officers attended Arrowe Park Hospital in Wirral just after 4pm on Sunday and arrested a 42-year-old on suspicion of possession of a firearm. TikToker Sam Walker later announced to his 138,000 followers that it was he who was detained and forced to spend four hours in a police cell before being released. "These trolls had armed police charging into the hospital pointing submachine guns at my head, coming straight into the room pointing them at my head," Walker said. "The police were only doing their job from what they were told and heard they had received a phone call from someone who had said to them 'there's going to be a shoot out'," he added. "Now, they have that person's voice so I told police to please check it out and track this person down because they need to be in prison. The police are checking that out and they only had me in the prison cell for four hours and then they released me." Liverpool Echo reports in a previous TikTok post, Walker said: "So many lies from people wanting views off the back of my name. Trolls have stooped to a new low. Ringing [a] hospital [where] there's a bunch of innocent women and men with new born babies making lies up saying there's a firearm there is as low as it gets. "Trolls and clout chasers are as low as it gets. To make lies up to get at me is as low as it gets when it affects innocent mums and dads with new babies." A police spokesperson said yesterday: "A man has been arrested at Arrowe Park Hospital today, Sunday 17 August. Just after 4pm armed officers were at the scene and detained a man. A 42-year-old man formerly from Liverpool has been arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm." "No firearm has been found at this time, however police officers are still at the scene carrying out enquiries and there is no risk to the public. Visitors can still access the hospital." Police today told The Mirror the man had been released with enquiries ongoing.
