Two chuckleheads in Sydney, Australia tried to rob the Regents Park Sporting and Community Club wearing ski masks and carrying machetes. This might have worked except that 50 members of the Southern Cross Cruiser Club happened to be having their monthly meeting in the bar.
“They (the robbers) thought they had the upper advantage with their knives and their machetes,” Jim Webb, night supervisor of the club, told CNN. “They didn’t expect to run into a bunch of guys carrying chairs and tables.”
On of the robbers ran through a plate glass window and then jumped off a balcony to escape the table and chair wielding bikers. He didn’t make it far before the cops picked him up. The second robber wasn’t so lucky.
“We just grabbed him, crash-tackled him to the ground, hogtied him with electrical wire and left him for the cops,” Vancornewal said.
Wouldn’t 50 some odd bikes parked in front of a bar be the first clue that tonight might not be the best night for tomfoolery? The criminal masterminds behind this caper ended up only being 16 and 20 years old. That is a picture of the Southern Cross Cruiser Club there in the upper right. They look like they are a little more than a bunch of dentists and lawyers trying to recapture their lost youth i.e. I would not fuck with them.
