Daniel:
Ohhh well it's really quite funny I was, I was in bed sleepin' at ahhh 2'o'clock this mornin' me wife comes in and says: "Ohhh the shops been, ahhhh, someone ran into the shop!" And I said "Oooahhhh what!?"
So aahhh I jumped outta bed and all I had was me undies on and I've walked out the front and I seen ahhh the car smashed and I seen the bloke walkin' back to the car! And so I've walked outside and I said "Oahhh whatayadoin' mate!? Like, ya can't be leavin' the scene," and he goes "Don't be a hero mate," and I said "I'm not tryna be a hero, but the police are commin'," and he just decided he'd scoot up the road and I just said "Naahh it's not goin' on like that mate."
So I jumped in me car and I started chasing him up the road and then he went down a side street and then the police were commin' and I flashed them and sent them off in the direction of him, but MATE, all I had was me jocks on and I was chasin' him up the street and I'm just like "MATE, LIKE!"

Reporter: Because you told me this is your mates shop and you didn't want him to get away?

Daniel:
"Yeah, nah, nah. It's it's well it's me mates mums had this shop for like forty odd years, and ahh, look at it. Look at it!

Reporter:
It's a mess isn't it?

Daniel:
Beyond a mess! Oohh well like, words can't explain how it is mate, like.

Reporter:
Now Daniel you've managed to put some pants on in the meantime.

Daniel:
Yeah mate hahah.

Reporter:
That's good to hear. Do you feel like a hero?

Daniel:
Ohhh, well not really it's just somethin' you gotta do for the community mate. It's like you look after your mates and your mates'll always look after you.
