They say crime doesn't pay. A burglar in Sydney, Australia recently got a lesson when he burglarized a home & got shot in the butt. The man reportedly broke into the home Sunday evening, and the residents were home. Upon hearing the prowler, the husband grabbed a compound bow, and shot the intruder in the buttocks as he attempted to steal the couple's SUV. The Huffington Post reports, the thief got out of the vehicle, and tried to scale a fence, whereupon he got a little surprise. The burglar stole another vehicle and escaped. No area hospital has reported treating anyone with bow & arrow wounds to the buttocks.
