A trio of bumbling car thieves attempting to steal a rare Toyota Supra and R34 Nissan GT-R were thwarted by the most unlikely of things – an armoured personnel carrier and a lowly bollard.

One scholar managed to start the machine while.his professor friend manned the angle grinder out the back of the vehicle.

The third bloke, in a fit of supervisory genius, insists that the driver reverse even though said.professor is still working.

Result is he is backed into most seriously. His.mates do what good Aussies do and legged it quick-smart.
