Vince has just read out a news item about a bungled robbery which took place in our capital, Perth, Western Australia. A young man entered a chemist shop and attempted to steal some expensive sleep apnea gear – which sounds a bit strange in itself. The pharmacist approached him and the robber produced a knife. However, he accidentally cut himself and fled to the car-park. The pharmacist followed him. A second young man came to the aid of the first and tried to spray the pharmacist with pepper spray. However he had the can pointing the wrong way and sprayed himself in the face! Although the men fled there is a nice clear photo of them. Let's hope, when they get out of gaol, that they don't breed. The photo is of fireworks in Perth last year.

Sadly, they've probably already bred and the state is now supporting their offspring while they do their time!!

Judy you made me laugh, that reminds me a thief (here in Switzerland) who assaulted a jewelry and run away using his own car. Plenty of people wrote down the number of the plate and he was caught immediately by the police. Thank your for suggesting this post @MALUSE.

I feel so disturbed when I read news or stories like this, Ms. Judy. It seems, nothing is that "less important" so as not to be a reason for robbery or, worse, causing one's life! What's happening to the world?

It is, Ms. @JudyEv . Sad. Do you know that there were nights when I stayed awake because not even one of our 6 dogs bark? It's just unusual. Somewhat creepy. Then, in the early morning, a neighbor announced that a nearby house was robbed clean! Gosh!

@JudyEv . Pepper is a spice. So when it is sprayed on some ones eyes it should be burning and he will be rubbing his eyes. Any one who is normal can catch hold of him.
