Today's award goes to three inept thieves in England.
Three bungling thieves were caught when their bid to tow a cash machine to a getaway car ended in farce when the dispenser became jammed in a doorway.
The masked robbers burst into the post office in Gorton, Greater Manchester, and wedged open the front door with a breeze block as they tied a strap around the cash machine.
The strap was then attached to a stolen car parked outside, police said. CCTV footage captured their blundered getaway bid as the machine was dragged against the door frame where it became stuck.
This caused the wheels of the stolen black Vauxhall Astra to lock up outside Mount Road Post Office as the vehicle remained on its spot.
The three offenders fled the scene on foot but were all apprehended by officers shortly after.

I'm familiar with the DIY idiom 'measure twice, cut once'. However, I hadn't been aware it also applies to stealing ATM machines through small doorways!
