Not An Addition...

...but certainly worth mentioning. Reader skidmark sends in this gutbusting tale of a very dumb criminal and a textbook example of how not to rob someone...

Victim takes fake weapon and beats would-be robber
Police said a man using a fake gun in a San Fernando Valley stickup was beaten with the prop weapon when the would-be victim took it from him. Los Angeles police Sgt. Jeff Collado told City News Service on Thursday that the attempted robbery suspect was bloodied and he was hospitalized. His name hasn't been released.
Oh, I'm sorry, but that is just too damned funny. This idiot crook is lucky he only got a beating - think about the moment when the victim realized it was a fake gun. He had to have been thinking, "This idiot is robbing me with a fake gun. He can't DO that!"

Stupid criminals. At least they're good for blogfodder...

That is all.

San Fernando Valley is Los Angeles suburbs...

That would certainly explain why the crook thought he could get away with using a prop gun...

The idiot crook is lucky he wasn't in the Gunshine state of Florida. He might'a gotten himself perforated by the victims .38.

The only thing dumber than a crook with a fake gun is a victim with a fake gun...

Reminds me of that scene in Lock Stock and Two Smoking barrels:

"The fact that you've got "Replica" written down the side of your gun. (withdraws his gun) And the fact that I've got "Desert Eagle point five O" written on the side of mine, should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence. Now... @@@@ off."
