A thief in California was recorded smashing the window of a surf shop and stealing surfboards that he then loaded into his BMW and left one poking bizarrely through the sunroof.

The outlandish heist occurred in Los Angeles' Venice Beach neighborhood at African surf shop Mami Wata when the thief shattered the window of the store with a crowbar and proceeded to leap inside and loot the business.

The incident was caught on video and posted to Instagram where the robber is seen going back and forth between the store and his car that had the trunk open.

The person taking the video tries to capture the man's license plate at one point but the plate is clearly a novelty fake that reads 'Los Angeles' instead of an a real license plate number.

The video taken by a bystander captures the thief, dressed in a red hat and grey hoodie, leaping from the smashed store window with a surfboard

The robber had already loaded one surfboard into his BMW but may have found it didn't fit, so he peculiarly left it poking through the sunroof
