The pair of thieves were making their third attempt to rob the jewellers.

Surely the proper movie reference is “Big Deal on Madonna Street” (remade as “Crackers” and “Welcome to Collinwood.”)

The grammar gorilla in me must point out that the correct usage would be “. . .one way to run afoul of the law.”

Breathlessly he types…. “That’s one way to run afowl with the law.”

Awesome – life is imitating art.
I just watched Woody Allen’s “Small Time Crooks” this weekend, and something just like this happens!
