Louisiana: A man walked into a Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled out a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer? $15. If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, was a crime committed?
Florida: [Pardon our English] Wearing a ski mask and carrying a gun, a thief burst into the bank one day. Taking aim at the armed security guard, the thief yelled, “FREEZE, MOTHER-STICKERS, THIS IS A _ _ _ _-UP!!" For a moment, everyone was silent. Then, the snickers started. The guard completely lost it and doubled over laughing. It probably saved his life, because he had been about to draw his gun. He could not have drawn and fired before the thief got him. The thief ran away and is still at large. In memory of the event, the bank has put an engraved plaque on the wall: “Freeze, Mother-Stickers, this is a _ _ _ _-up!"
Arkansas: Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he would just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So, he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. Seems the liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.
New York: As a female shopper exited a convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran.

That's the lady I stole the purse from."
Washington: When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more that he had bargained for.

New Jersey: A Newark woman reporting her car as stolen mentioned that there was a car phone in it.

The man, frustrated, walked away.
