A BURGLAR got more than he bargained for when he broke into a couple’s home in Sydney’s southwest on Sunday. The intruder was shot with a compound bow and arrow.

The thief was shot in the buttocks with a bow and arrow during a botched break and enter at the home on Glanara Street in Wattle Grove at about 5.20pm.

The man stole cash and property from a bedroom in the house, before he took the keys to the couple’s Nissan X-Trail, which was parked in the garage.

He then reversed out of the garage only to be confronted by the angry homeowner, who was holding a compound bow and arrow.

The thief got out of the car and ran from the garage before jumping the fence andd heading towards another parked car.

The 68-year-old homeowner, however, stood on a fence, took aim and shot the intruder in the buttocks, who managed to get into his Mazda Tribute, and escape.

I wonder if the archer was able to get his arrow and arrow head back?

It’s possible the thief might have gone somewhere and died. Being shut in the bum doesn’t sound life-threatening, but depending on the arrowhead and the power of the bow, it could go right through and sever an artery, or worse. Check the local hospitals; if he hasn’t checked into one of them, he might very well be dead.

Your photo clearly shows why the Amazons only had a right breast!

“Peculiar, but perhaps justified from the Amazons perspective, was the removal of a girl’s right breast. While still a girl, the right breast would be cauterized using a searing hot bronze tool. It was thought to be a necessary evil, to mutilate and remove all possible hindrances to using a spear or drawing an arrow”. Source: www.greeka.com

I have read that the removal of a breast has been shown to be a myth.

Yes,they refer to it as legend of the Amazons.
More myth than not.

Perhaps Mr Bezos could clear it up?

It is a funny video, but they sure do a lot of stupid stuff, and waste a lot of ammo!
