If so how?

Yes..many, many times. I am trying to think of the best example to use. Well here is a funny one.
At this office I worked at we had a very old printer, slower than molasses in January and always broke down. It was very frustating to use for all of us. Meanwhile, the boss had this sleek, new, very fast printer in his office.
He would not replace our crappy printer, even though he had more than enough money to do so.
One day he had a *very* important document to get out, with a few hours deadline, which was a few hundred pages long. His fancy new printer just died on him right in the middle of printing. So he had to use our bad one.
Needless, to say, after a very slow frustating process, that printer died out on him too. The timing was just perfect to really drive the lesson home.
I've seen karma in action many, many other times. But that stands out. I have never seen a man so p-ed off in my life. LOL.
Wait here is another hilarious one. I was at a store with my husband at the time, and I walked into the parking lot by myself. I was wearing nice sandals. So this guy sitting in a car said to me as I walked by: "You have beautiful feet. Can I kiss them?"
Right as my husband walked out, looking very agitated. I said "Um that is my husband." And pointed to him(he is tall and atheletic, not to mention a martial arts master.)
So the guy freaks out, hits the gas pedal and goes speeding out of the parking lot. So fast that he hit a fire hydrant! LOL! Water was gushing out all over the place!

yes, my entire life. I always try to put positive karma out there. And I think it comes back to me. Anytime I have lost my job, something has always filled in the gaps for me.
The first time - I won a radio contest and got my huge tax refund right after I was let go.
another time, my position was eliminated (non-profit lost funding) - Five minutes after I was told that they no longer had money to pay me, I got a phone call from a resume I had sent out almost a year prior.
No matter what horrible thing life throws at me, it seems something better is always right behind it.

Well, since karma means "consequence of action", yes. I've seen people drink too much and throw up. I've seen people not study and therefore fail their tests. I've also seen people study their butts off and do well. I've seen people act like jerks and become very lonely because no one wants to be around them. I've seen people donate to charity and many other people's lives improve because of it. There are consequences to every action.
Contrary to Western views, karma is not some sort of divine system of rewards and punishments.

Yes, it was almost instant too, I pulled behind this gas station on Sunset Blvd. and parked and looked over and there was this guy painting a huge number 13 on the back wall of the station just as fast as he could go no sooner did he get finished and a cop came out the back door of the station and the chase was on.

A guy driving behind me got so angry when I stopped in the middle of the street that he gunned his car and whipped around me only to drop into the giant sinkhole I had stopped for. Perhaps not entirely Karmic but funny nonetheless.

Karma kicked me in the *** for teasing my sister in Elementary School. Seriously...

No.
What people think of as "karma" is just your brain trying to find patterns in completely random events. It's the same ability that allows us to find faces in clouds. If we look for a connection, our brain is more than happy to find one, whether it is real or not. If you pick any two events, your brain can find some way in which it is connected if you really want to find a connection. It doesn't mean that one actually caused the other.

Yes, it's circled around and kicked me in the butt a few times. It's also provided help when I needed it.

Yes I tell you, one will surely reap what they sow, and that is the word of the law.
Dem bones dem bones dem dried bones, and that is the word of the law.
