Two armed thieves picked the wrong night to rob an Australian club, disturbing a meeting of 50 motorcycle bikers, who tackled and hog-tied one of the thieves until police arrived.

The Southern Cross Cruiser Club was staging its monthly meeting on Wednesday night in the club in Sydney's west when two men armed with machetes entered the club and ordered patrons to lie on the ground and surrender their money. But the balaclava-wearing bandits did not realize there were 50 bikers in the next room.

Along the same lines:

We had a local robber who hit many local restaurants/bars at closing time... maybe 20 armed robberies using the same M.O.

The robber hid in the restroom ceiling of yet another establishment and emerged... to find the closed place packed with bartenders who had something of a monthly after-hours party going on.

Poor robber was disarmed and beaten to a pulp by his intended victims, several of whom he had previously held up.
