Those robbers came unstuck.

I always wondered if a fire extinguisher would have a similar effect. A Co2 one in particular might come in handy in such circumstances.

I have heard of golf clubs used to similar effect also.

Spray the CO2 to freeze them, then clobber them round the head with the cylinder and they'll shatter like the T1000.

It certainly would


A taxi driver I know, keeps a 4-D Maglite in a clip on the centre console of his car.................. just in case of breakdowns, of course........

The shopkeeper is very short sighted and we should feel sorry for the poor blokes Missus. She will go hunting for the WD40 to lube a squeaky hinge, and end up firing a shotgun at it.

Yebbut it is oily, and doubtless has oil in it

WD-40 is one half of the holy duet. All hail...

 

[Drago]

I wonder if a shopkeeper has ever used the Mickle method to fight off marauders?

Well, oil be damned!

Well oil beef hooked

Nice of the second robber to shut the door after himself.
