If I were going to rob a store. . .
I promise you, I did not make this up. On yesterday's front page of the Kokomo Tribune was an article titled, "Dollar theater robbery foiled". The article goes on to describe the incident. I'd like to share some of my favorite tidbits:
*"A robbery attempt at a local theater was thwarted Monday evening after two employees and a customer tackled the alleged perpetrator and held him down until police arrived." First of all, if you're going to rob a store, why in the WORLD would you pick the dollar theater? Does he realize that people pay A DOLLAR to watch a movie? And this is a Monday night. Even if the place is busy he might walk out with 50 bucks.
*“I walked into the kitchen area and there was this guy standing there,” Van-Haecke recalled. “I asked what he was doing and said he cleaning for us. [love the grammar]I said ‘you’re trying to rob me.’”Van-Haecke said the man then threw some articles he had in his hand in the trash can and tried to flee. Nothing like apprehending a criminal by saying, "You're trying to rob me."
*“He was struggling a lot,” Van-Haecke said. “He definitely didn’t want to be there when the cops showed up.” No, really? I thought most thieves were excited to see the cops.
*Murphy was not armed with a weapon and no injuries were reported. After all that, he didn't even have a weapon.
I love the newspaper.
