The plot of Small Time Crooks is that they rent an empty shop and try to tunnel into the bank next door but end up in the shop on the other side because they get their left and right mixed up underground:.

From The Daily Mail:

A pair of thieves attempting to rob a jeweller's by tunneling through a wall, ended up at the next door KFC in Beudesert, Australia.

The two thieves had broken into a toilet block behind the building shared by the jeweller's shop and the fast-food restaurant and used an iron bar to create a hole in the wall, but suffered some miscalculations.

Although the pair missed their original target, they staged an impromptu hold-up and escaped with about £1,000 in cash.
