On New Year's Eve, two robbers in Beaudesert, Australia tried to end the year with a big splash . . . by robbing a jewelry store.

 

 

--So 32-year-old Peter Welsh and 31-year-old Dwayne Doolan tried to tunnel into a local jewelry store by digging a hole in the back wall.  Only they misjudged where to make the hole and ended up tunneling into . . . a KFC.

 

 

--The KFC was open at the time and serving customers.

 

 

--Fried chicken isn't QUITE as lucrative as diamonds and gold . . . but while they were there, Peter and Dwayne decided they might as well rob the KFC.

 

 

--A cashier dumped the register for them, and they made off with about $2,700 . . . so that KFC must've been doing some spectacular business.  The police tracked them down a few days later and arrested them.
