An Ultimate Fail?

'A handbag heroine who fought off robbers armed with sledgehammers as they attempted a raid at a jewellery store' - Story

Six strapping lads with weapons versus one hand bag wielding granny?

Never mind lads ...

 

[Shewie]

Lol, is that for real

Good on her I say

In the words of JonD ...

 

[addo]

Good one

Lol, is that for real

I had wondered ~ The camera being there made me suspicious. A bit of a search finds a lot of 'reputable' news agencies seem to have run the story ~ with hope they would check its veracity.

 

[Barn Owl]

I read about it today, I so hope it's true.

Oh it's real alright! Only in tramphampton would 6 charvers pick the slowest getaway vehicles and wait until half past 9 in the morning when a camera is set up to film 50 feet away to rob a jewelry shop! If they go to a juvvie detention centre or similar they're going to get bullied big time...

Hah, I didn't twig where it was at first, then I noticed the title of the video (I'm quick me) and realised I knew exactly where it was. It seems I didn't move to the smartest of towns where townies are concerned.

Although it's quite sad, in a way I'm glad it's real ~ the level of abject stupidity would imply that, even without this sad episode, these lads would probably benefit from some sheltered accommodation .

 

[Melonfish]

Indeed an epic fail, Lol at the supergran theme, haven't seen that is so long hehe.

 

[No Idea]

Impressed.

Ive always found the best way into a building is just to wait until they open the door and let you in. Shows how little I know.

I do think they should make sure they have jackets with their names and home addresses on in case they got lost.

Love the bloke in the shop flapping about trying to drop the shutters again.

I remember when I was a kid watching live wrestling in the Brighton Boys club. They used to have bouncers just to stop the little old ladies from hitting the "baddie" wrestlers.

Once little old ladies get outraged, they just dont seem to be able to control their urge to go beat someone.

That was great, heard it on the radio and great to see the footage. Funny how everyone else just walks and drives on by until granny gets involved.

 

[Bushwhacker]

Not the best getaway vehicles.
