Weird Crime

[Dowdy]

here are some stories which i hope you all enjoy:

In 1980, a robber walked into a Liverpool Jeweller's shop brandishing a weapon and announcing a stick-up. Nobody took him seriously because they recognised the weapon as a popgun due to the bright red plastic cork the man had forgotton to remove from the muzzle.

Half an ear was stolen from an Arizona woman during the night of 15 September, 1985. This painful theft was all the more mysterious since there was no sign of a break-in.

A six-foot tall mugger threatened a five-foot tall 74 year old grandmother in Chichester Cathedral, but ran away screaming when she grabbed his wrist.

In November 1933, a French burglar attempted to rob a house while wearing a full suit of armour. He made so much noise that the owner woke up and pushed a sideboard over on him. The move not only ensured the burglar's capture, but damaged the armour so badly that it proved impossible to get off. For his first day in custody, the man had to be fed through his visor while waiting for a blacksmith to cut him out.

Three thieves raided the Billericay Post Office, Essex, in 1971, despite the fact it had been closed for twelve years.

If your wondering what they're doing in this type of Forum well, to me, it's a mystery why they did such a stupid thing

;D

Very humurous dowdy ;D

I found the six foot mugger against the little old lady the most funniest to visualize ;D

A man walks into a bank. He is wearing a suit and tie, and is not making any effort to conceal himself. He steals 1,250 dollars, and manages to escape. The next day a man walks into the same bank waering the same suit and tie and tries to deposit 1,250 dollars.
