I just witnessed a Nobbery

Butterfly baby

That's not a mispelling, right I went to collect my rent allowance and the post office I collect it at is at the back of a newsagents so when I went to queue there was a peice of paper stuck to the glass saying "No money until 2:15 pm" so fair enough I got out of the queue. I needed milk so grabbed some from the fridge and was paying at the shop counter when these 3 guys in motor bike helmets ran in stouting "NOBODY MOVE, NOBODY MOVE", one had a shotgun, one had a baseball bat and one just stood blocking the main door. So the one with the shotgun went straight to the door at the back that lets them into the post office part and pointed the gun at it and the one with the base ball bat started hitting the glass screaming at the guy behind it "OPEN THE ****ING DOOR!". Now everybody in the shop is ****ting bricks but then doesn't the guy behind the glass just point at the peice of paper stuck there and shrug. It was the most epically surreal moment I've ever seen, they just looked at each other and the guy with the bat said "****!" and they ran out the door. I really hope someone gets a copy of the security camera tapes and youTubes it

Lauging at these poor down on their luck (non-scumbag, non-knackers) gentlemen who lost out on a job today.

Sounds like someone has a bad case of (s)Nobbery.

Lol...those losers! Hope they're caught.

I'm surprised that they didn't join the queue after that and wait for 2.15.

petes

Don't go back to that Post Office at 2:15 p.m.

PCPhoto

wait till after 2.15 .... and we'll see if its a nobbery or a robbery !!!

given the original post its likely they will be stupid enough to return and attempt it again.

Thanks I needed that laugh..

MrStuffins

That's hilarious!

I really hope it's true!

Where was this post office OP??

OldGoat

Aaaah a bit of sympathody for the 3 lads. I mean they probably had to take a half day off work and they were stuck wearing those helmets in this heat. Not to mention the cost of renting the shotgun. I think we should have a whipround for them.

Class, where did it happen?

Good thing they could read! You're obviously dealing with a "better" class of criminal there.

They are probably noobs at this nobbery business

Reminds me of a time years ago I was in the TSB in Stillorgan. I was talking over the counter to one of the tellers when someone shouted "Look out!" and with that a steel shutter shot up out of the counter to the ceiling, completely closing off the staff from the public area, leaving me on my own there.

I looked around to see three balaclaved bandidos standing in the door - I though "f**k, they'll probably take my wallet as a consolation prize". Luckily for me they just turned and ran. I gave it a minute and then tapped on the shutter, saying "It's alright, they're gone now . . . "

You mean to tell me you stood there while everyone else what ****ting bricks and you did nothing, why didnt you disarm them ?

Sounds like something out of snatch or something.

In Wicklow last year, Heard all this shouting outside the window by the post office. So I stuck my head out and saw a car down below being rev'd and the driver shouting "c'mon, c'mon". I grabbed my phone and snapped this picture as they came out with a bag of cash, you make out a handgun in the stripey top guy's right hand.

sorry here it is

In the city centre, I don't want to be specific because it's where I live. I really hope the camera footage get's on the news tonight as one of those "Let's all laugh at these twats" stories. I can just imagine them planning this and targeting a day where they knew there'd be money there (Rent allowance, dole, lone parents and pensions) and just to fail like that. They are probably crying into their pints as we speak

Butterfly baby is the real hero here, instead of waiting around for the garda to arrive and provide descriptions, she rushed back to post on AH.

Garda will be looking for a witness statement unless she has already given one

I will give a statement, I live next door to the shop and the shop keeper knows me so it won't be a hard stretch for them to knock on my door.

Everyone in AH will be able to give one now.

Which city centre?

OldGoat

Just to back up a smartaleky comment I was going to make I googled "Witnessed a nobbery" and low & behold, as expected the Boards link is right there in top position.
Then the second link caught my eye.: www.gamespot.com/atari2600
Atari?!!? :eek:
Is this coincidence or shinannigans. What are the odds of an Atari link AND an AH link actually being linked by the words "witnessed a nobbery"?

I'm flabbergasted & hornswoggled & I've used the word link a lot in this post.

There's only one city in Ireland. C'mon we all know the OP is talking about Kilkenny. :rolleyes:

You have just told the 3 guys who attempted the robbery where you live,and that you intend to make a statement. In another post you describe what you look like.

You might want to edit your posts before you get an (un-)expected visitor or 3.

Thats my 2 cents.

Oh my stalker...can't let it go can you? sorry mods but this is a form of harassment, he's following me around threads now and trying to drag them off topic to take cheap shots. Let it go! :rolleyes:

Report it if you want. "Following you around threads" Are you for real?

Relevant, you have posted on the same thread as me several times to day. I think your following me around. Are you stalking me?

Now I imagine that the 3 lads already know where the location is as they were there already.
I would also assume that they know that anybody in the postoffice is likely to be a local. :rolleyes:
Next, they already know what the OP looks like, they have seen her already.
Finally one must assume again that everybody who was in the postoffice is a witness.

I think the OP is reasonably safe and need not worry.

I think you are giving them much more credit than they deserve, if they can't read a peice of paper I doubt they spend a lot of time on a keyboard

LouOB

Hold on there now just a tick

These were educated would be thieves - they could read!
Obviously they are not from city centre - probably Anglo Irish Bank trying to collect from government. Did the guy behind the glass look like a 'Brian'?

Forget the following around threads.... it is the camera in your shower that you should be worried about
