Two men - one wearing a balaclava and the other a hood pulled over his face - then walked down the street to get into the car. One was holding a screw driver.
They were both arrested at the scene and a search of the car revealed a crowbar, hatchet and gloves under the front seats.
A piece of timber door frame, which had allegedly been dropped by one of the men, was found to have been from a window frame of a nearby Michael Hill Jewellers, police said.
"Police can confirm that any possible getaway attempt was perhaps thwarted by the fact that one of the men had a prosthetic leg and the other had recently broken a leg."
Both men were charged with attempted burglary and possession of instruments for burglary.
The pair appeared in North Shore District Court today.
The 40-year-old was remanded on bail to appear on September 18.
The 44-year-old was remanded in custody to re-appear tomorrow.
