Would-be robber thrown out of cafe
Thursday Nov 23 07:24 AEDT
A would-be robber has been thrown out of a Melbourne cafe after the staff didn't believe him when he said he was armed.
A Victoria Police spokesman said the man, wearing a plastic bag over his head with eye holes cut out, entered an internet cafe in inner-suburban Richmond about 10.30pm (AEDT) on Wednesday.
He demanded money, claiming he had a gun, which cafe staff said they could not see.
"The cafe operator doubted the man's credibility and after a brief struggle threw him out of the cafe," a police spokesman said.
He was last seen running towards Hoddle Street.

Heh. This story reminds me of the time my great-aunt, who was well into her 80s at the time, got mugged... the robber grabbed her handbag and went to make off with it but she wouldnt let go of it! She stood there in the middle of the street resolutely hanging on and shouting "let GO of me you bloody little bastard!". Then he did, and she proceeded to chase him down the road bashing him over the head with the handbag til he fled :D

Friend of mine has a story about when he was working graveyard shift at a Stop n Go. Dude comes in with a fire axe, says, "empty the register." My friend laughs in his face and says, "Not here pal. Try the 7-11 up the street." Dude leaves and my friend calls the cops, who pick up the guy about to enter the 7-11.

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?

three kids who were probably like 16 or 17 tried "mugging" me and a friend on an el stop in chicago one snowy evening. they were fronting like they had guns in thier pockets but they obv. didn't. i was all about just walking away slowly towards some other people at the other end of the platform, but my friend went off on some "i grew up in a palestinian refugee camp ffs, i'm not about to come to the land of the free and the home of the brave and get mugged by some punk in a $200 parka" shit. that kind of freaked them out and they ran away.

then he insisted on filing a police report which took like two hours. i really just wanted to go home, but he bought me lots of beers earlier in the night though, so i went with it.

I wonder where that was? Presumably down near Church Street, that's where most of the internet cafes I know are.

Perhaps it is time for me to become a masked vigilante.
