I feel a very lucky Dad this afternoon.
I got a very distressed phone call from Sharon this morning. She had dropped of Jonathon and Nathan (Ping Jnr) for a haircut with the local barber, gone to her Mum's to drop off something ( 5 minutes away ) and then gone back to the barber.
She pulled up opposite the barber only to see this

A couple of "gentlemen" who were trying to steal alcohol from the bottle shop tried to get away when the owner started to ring the police. The driver tried to do a U Turn in the middle of Berala shopping centre but due to his drunken and drugged stupor only managed to drive straight across the road and straight through the front of the barbers.
The vehicle finished almost at the back door in the photo.
Nathan was caught under the door etc (left side of the photo) and has only received a couple of cuts and scratches from the glass.
Jonathon was actually in the chair having his hair cut. The chair is normally where the oil marks can be seen in the right side of the photo. The barber jumped out of the way and it appears he and Jonathon missed being struck by an inch or two only.
Roberts (barber) young son was watching TV out the back and was knocked off his chair and finished under the table which can be seen right at the back.
The pri!k of a driver was trying to restart the ute to reverse it out but luckily it would not start and he could not get out of the vehicle. Sharon got the boys out and Robert found his son crying unhurt (somehow) under the table.
The driver was grabbed by the police and they are still looking for the accomplice who ran away.
When I look at the photos I am just amazed that no one was seriously hurt or worse.
Sorry for the long post, but I feel a little blessed at the moment and just had to write it down.
