Reason #486 why we Never Rob Monasteries

Robber's First Mistake Was attacking Martial Arts Monks

Sma-a-a-rt:

Zagreb - A Croatian thief got more than he bargained for when he ran into a pair of karate-trained monks as he tried to rob a monastery.

The 35-year-old thief, posing as a beggar looking for a place to stay at a Zagreb monastery, broke into an office and stole almost R17 000 that had been donated by locals, newspapers reported.

But monks Pejo Orkic, 40, and Ivan Pajtak, 51, cornered him and used karate to first fend off his attacks and then force him to the ground where they held him until police arrived.

The man has been charged with attempted theft and remanded in custody.
