Clumsy would-be car thief caught on camera in Camden County

On Aug. 11, he climbed over a fence to get into Frank's Auto Addictions on Black Horse Pike and fell.

Police say he tried to open a locked door. That didn't work.

Then, he tried to hotwire several unlocked cars. None of them started.

The suspect climbed back over the fence to get out and fell again.

Police say the same man is a suspect in other burglaries from unlocked cars.
