What I find to be absolutely amazing is that ALL of these exact same events occurred about a year or two ago in the USA.

The brick into the liquor store was a cinder block [besser brick] & the window was "Plexiglass" which does exist, & not 'Flexiglass', which doesn't.

I was also interested to read how the Aussie liquor store clerk[?] needed to know if the robber was 21 [the minimum legal age in the US] instead of 18, the minimum legal age in Australia.

Funny stories none the less with just a few facts changed to give it a local flavour.
