Our unknown Doofi today are a team of wannabe burglars in Poynton, England.
A gang have been branded Britain's worst burglars after drilling their way into an empty office next door to a bank.
The thieves had hoped to break into the Royal Bank of Scotland branch in Poynton, near Macclesfield, Cheshire, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Having forced their way into the wrong property, they tried and failed again to get into the bank and left empty-handed.
A police source commented: "This raid was more Norman Wisdom than Oceans 11."
Inspector Gareth Woods confirmed: "This offence seemed organised to a certain extent but was clearly not the slickest and best executed crimes we have ever seen.
"It looks like they've broken into a flat above the bank and pulled some carpet up and made a hole in the floor only to end up in the space below.
"They clambered back up and went to another room to drill a hole in the ceiling of the bank but couldn't gain access.
"We can only assume they must have taken a long time to do it and they probably fled because they ran out of time or were disturbed."
Ah, well. Thanks for the entertainment, Doofi, and may your next robbery attempt be equally ill-fated!
