  | | | | Quote: He tried once, he tried again, he tried a third time - but each attempt to break the shop window rebounded on him.
The still unidentified burglar was throwing a rock at a shop in Wellington, New Zealand, which sells skateboards and streetwear.
But the rock just kept bouncing back and knocking him on the head until he, and a watching accomplice, gave up.
Police say they hope the experience has knocked some sense into the burglar.
Detective Sergeant Mark Scott said the two offenders were caught on camera trying to smash a window of Empire Skate, in Herd Street, Chaffers Marina before dawn.
"We can see from the CCTV images, one of the offenders is seen throwing a rock at the window which then comes down and hits him on the head, at which point they flee the scene."
Police are now asking for witnesses to come forward as they continue to try to identify the failed burglars. | | | | |
I always wanted to throw rocks at some of the skaters around Belfast City Hall* - standing there looking all moody and individual (with your identically dressed friends) before mummy picked you up is just asking for it IMO  * And those extra long hip chains would have been perfect for garotting them with at the Hall's fence  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Ha. Are they still there? I like the way all the baby fashion goths hang around on the benches there. Mark

By the way, this story FAILs without the CCTV footage to back it up. (8+( Mark

You still see them occasionally, but they hang out closer to the open ground at the Albert Clock now... Some of the older goth girls are hot - you know they're hot when they dress like utterly deluded prats and still look good _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I wonder if the location had anything to do with it.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
