    Great doors you have there. :)

    That would make me furious if I owned a shop.

    Oh yeah! (HAD though as I quit in 2003)

    BUT...he also managed to get caught on the ARCO video as he ran past there.

    I'm hoping he gets a Netflix series.

    I was going to say, "at least they left you some refreshing beverages " but you beat me to the soft drink humor line.

    Just glad they didn't get in.

    Safer for everyone that it was attempted burglary while no one was there as opposed to armed robbery.

    Oh, I had one of those, too.
    The pistola is no good if they already have you covered.

    Learned THAT day HOW to set up a shop.
    Step 1. Get RID of the stupid buzzer door. :#

    Happy they did not succeed.... However, be ready - they are amateurs, and they will think they have 'learned' something, and will be back....Cheers, RickO

  • topstuftopstuf Posts: 14,803 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Not all are amateurs.
    When I was robbed, it was a nicely dressed guy asking legit coin questions. Even showed him a few. He pondered a bit and then asked to see one of them again.
    As I turned to the safe to get it again, I heard his jacket swish and knew he was drawing a gun.
    No chance to use mine.
    I was covered and the bullets were poking out of the cylinder.

    After ordering me to the floor, he came behind counter and pushed the stupid buzzer door to let his TWO accomplices in.

    You just never know!
