Because there’s no end to the fuckwittery to which people are willing to stoop, some bloody gronks have gone and nicked Samuel Johnson‘s silver Logie award from the Brunswick Hotel in Melbourne.
The award, which Johnson won for his role as Molly Meldrum in ‘Molly‘, had occupied pride of place in the pub since the end of April. Johnson and pub owner Richard Kruk (they’re good mates) had been using it to raise funds for Johnson’s Love Your Sister charity.
Punters were invited to grab a selfie with the award in exchange for a donation to the charity, and according to 9 NEWS the scheme has already raised thousands for the cancer charity, which is pretty bloody lovely.
Kruk said that plenty of garden-variety drongos had made the ooh-I’m-gonna-nick-it joke, but when two blokes actually did take off with the silver Logie he was flabberghasted.
“Before you knew it, we had passed it to someone to take a photo, the next thing we knew, it was gone.“You always think it’s a joke and so many people have come in and tried to take photos and did the whole ‘I’m going to take off with it’, and I think at the time the bar staff thought it was a joke as well.”
Very fortunately, the two dickheads chucked the Logie into bushes at a golf course (!), where detectives found the hunk of silver and returned it to Kruk.
Cops did apprehend the thieves, but Johnson has chosen not to press charges because of course he bloody hasn’t.
Melbourne mates, don’t miss your chance: get your beautiful butts down to the Brunno and chuck some coins in the jar for a Logie selfie before it gets the full Entrapment security treatment.
