Stealing is wrong, kids!

Just ask Australian "Dubsmash King," Ian Zaro, who awoke to find a stolen car had been dumped outside his house.

Rather than just ignore it, the Aboriginal, Torres Strait and South Sea Islander comedian decided to draw attention to the crime the best way he knew how -- by making a Facebook video.

The resulting viral response has Zaro feeling a little bit overwhelmed. "I honestly couldn't believe it," he told Mashable via Messenger. "I was just having fun with it, aye. I enjoy making people smile and laugh."

This isn't even the first time Zaro has gone viral: Some of his Dubsmash content has racked up millions of views. For him, the real benefit of making videos is when people reach out to tell him the impact that he has had on their lives.

"A lot of people [have] said I made them happy," he explained.

"Some haven even said I helped them through their depression. [It's] really heart-warming knowing I can have this impact on so many people."
