let's see we rob one store go to an one, which might as well be across the street, and don't think about the fact that police will be all over the area because of the first robbery and talking everyone/every store in the area?
hum . . . obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Game Over: Man Attempts Robbery With Joystick
Man uses Playstation remote control to commit two robberies
Monday, Apr 25, 2011
By Todd Wright
Video games are so life like these days, people are now confusing joy sticks for real weapons.
A Florida man was arrested over the weekend after he tried to use a Playstation remote control to stick up a convenience store in St. Petersburg, Bay News 9 reported.
Cameron Pittman, 20, hid the remote control in his pocket and told the cashier it was a gun and that he came for the money, police said.
But much like a scene from the cartoonish world of video games, Pittman's robbery attempt was foiled when a cop walked into the store while the video gamer was holding up the joint.
Pittman, who allegedly used the joystick ploy to pull off a successful robbery moments earlier at a sandwich shop, immediately dropped the Playstation controller and surrendered.
Game over with no possibility of continues.
Pittman is charged with armed robbery and violation of probation. |
