Not so much Bonnie and Clyde as Dumb and Dumber.  point:

Quote
Two Australians have been jailed for a failed heist which left one of them with a bag of bread rolls and the other with a bullet in the backside.
Benjamin Jorgensen, 38, and Donna Hayes, 36, were sentenced to seven and eight years respectively for the robbery in a Melbourne restaurant.

During the robbery, Jorgensen grabbed what he thought was a bag of money - only to find it contained bread rolls.

He also accidentally fired his gun, hitting Hayes in the buttock.

Judge Roland Williams described the two, who had expected to steal takings worth about A$30,000 ($26,000, £13,000), as a "pair of fools".

Hayes was hospitalised for a month as a result of her injuries.

The two pleaded guilty to armed robbery at the County Court in Victoria.

There was one in Limassol at the weekend… a Romanian guy broke into a restaurant and stole a 52” LCD television but was caught trying to load it onto the getaway vehicle – a stolen motorbike!  point:
