Criminals foiled by sliding glass door

Three Australian men intended to rob a seafood restaurant. What stopped them? Not the police, not a brave citizen; but a sliding glass door.

With an audience of 20 diners watching, 3 men tried to rob a restaurant south of Sydney. The diners were calm during the event as the criminals tried to kick open a sliding glass door. A local radio station called the attempted crime as “a rehersal for a slapstick comedy.” The door said “Slide” and was unlocked, but apparently the would be robbers couldn’t see it from underneath their masks.

One of the investigators commented, “They’re probably more dangerous because they’re dumb.”

  2. Oh my goodness that is by far the funniest thing I have heard about in a long time! I love blogs like this that include real crimes and real news. How embarrassing for those would be criminals!

  3. Oh man I bet they will be made fun of from arrest all the way to court and even while in jail. I wonder if they had guns because that would make their crime into a worse one and then they would be forced to serve an even longer sentence of pure humiliation. I so have to share this post it really is a good one!
