Tight fit ... three men attempting to steal a go-kart came unstuck when they tried to fit it into the back of this Holden Commodore .

Patrolling police passed three men attempting to fit a kart on the back seat of the car outside St Luke’s Lutheran Church, on in Wilsonton, about 10.30pm on Friday.
