Perseverance and patience should be used for the right things.

An absurd thief was caught on camera wrestling with a vending machine for 30 minutes at a golf course in Australia.

A man is seen shaking the vending machine with all his might.

It looks like he might break it at any moment.

This incident took place at a golf course in Brisbane, Australia.

The man spent over 30 minutes pushing, pulling, and shaking the machine before finally managing to steal the snacks and drinks inside and fleeing the scene.

In the process, even a part of the wall was reportedly damaged.

It turned out that the man was not a member of the golf course, but an acquaintance brought by a member.

In the end, the member apologized to the golf course on behalf of their acquaintance and agreed to compensate for all the damages.
