This is not a good time to be robbed, could you come back in an hour?

. . . and they did, proving that not every crime has a mastermind behind it.

Would-Be Robbers Arrested After Chicago Restaurant Owner Tells Them To Come Back An Hour Later

Quote:
Chicago police and prosecutors say Mario Garcia, 39, and Domingo Garcia-Hernandez, 28, went to the Clifton Grill in West Rogers Park late Sunday demanding food and telling the owner, "I will kill you, I have a gun with me,’’ the Tribune reports.

Concerned for his customers' safety, police say the owner told the men he was too busy but to come back in an hour -- and they did.

My driving school instructor told me about a bank robbery in Lowell once... the thief apparently slipped a note to the teller that said, "I just want $5 for lunch". He got the $, went to get lunch, and was arrested.

I've heard of robberies like that, most likely the robber really was hungry and only needed something to eat. Most likely a homeless individual who saw the robbery as a way to get locked up in jail so that he could get a bed and three squares a day. sad.

That has to be rough - when time in jail looks like a step up. Could well be what happened here. The two perps don't look like they're on top of the world.

Bringing a squirt gun doesn't exactly scream "geniuses," either...

What if the squirt gun is full of something horribly toxic and corrosive? "Put your hands up." (squirt-squirt) (wall dissolves beside cashier)
