Default Perth Snatcher Meets Match

http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/2013/04/01/2041609/

Reminds me a little of the bank robbery scene in Two Hands.

It's amazing that he got away, though.

Kinda hard to snatch a whole City

It was a lispy pun. And the snatcher was in Perth (or at least the story was posted from there), hence Perth snatcher. Headlines must be punchy!

I saw it on the local and national news here this morning.

He's lucky that was shatterproof glass.

Sorry, I never noticed that topic before. If it had been a large pane of glass, I would have run straight through it.

2 things.
The funny bit is watching the automatic door slide open as he's laying there on the floor. I reckon when they catch the bloke and throw him inside, they should hook up a secured TV in his cell, replaying the incident, over and over, 24/7.

The other is the window cleaner at the store deserves a pay rise.

Hmm, them again, he probably sue the store for injuries and win.

It's a shame it was shatterproof. If it wasn't, the cops would have easily caught up with him in hospital.

Never mind the gaol time, this bloke will be hoping he doesn't get caught because of the sheer embarrassment of having his name associated with such a "shattering" mistake.

I managed to bust through one at walking speed 10 years ago. I must have been staring vacuously down at the ground in front of me (I imagine my mouth was probably hanging half open too) because only my forehead bounced off, with a dull fleshy thud, while my lower body kept shambling through the glass. Had the ill fortune to do it in front of a crowd so I can testify that it's a huge dent to the ego. It took a good 10 seconds to figure out what actually happened

Any followup to this "perth snatcher?" (purse)

Even if it was shatterproof glass, he landed on his face. Wouldn't he have gotten hurt?

Well, he was knocked unconscious. I imagine that hurt.
