    Would-Be Bank Robber Gets Laughed At

    Thu Oct 14, 5:42 PM ET Strange News - AP

    ZAGREB, Croatia - He put a mask on his face, pulled out a gun and demanded money. But when the bank clerk laughed in his face, the would-be robber was so humiliated he just ran away.

    The bungled holdup occurred midday Thursday at a small bank on Zagreb's main square, police said.

    The 31-year-old clerk, identified only as Martina S., "laughed aloud" at the threat from the bandit because she knew she was protected by a bulletproof glass, said Gordana Vulama, a police spokeswoman.

    After cackling at the thief, she coolly picked up the phone to call police, Vulama said.

    Seeing that, the failed robber spun around and fled the scene. Police were searching for him, Vulama said.

    A side story about dumb criminals.... I once was in a gas station convience store at about 11pm. A guy walks in the sliding glass doors and goes straight to the back where the beer is kept. He emerges from the isle with 2 cases of Bud Light and he tries to walk inconspicously toward the other sliding glass doors. As he gets to his last few steps to freedom he picks up the pace rapidly and WHAM. Smacks right into the glass doors.

    You know how sometimes at night convience stores will only have one set of doors working. Well, this guy came in the working doors and tried to leave through the locked ones. I was noticing him because I was waiting in line behind a few people and turned around to talk to my friend. When he hit that door everyone started laughing and the clerk yelled, "hey you!". The guy dropped the beer and ran out the working door.

    it seems a lot of "dumb criminals" run into the problem of not really wanting to shoot anyone. they figure show a gun, no one wants to die so you'll get some money. but then something like this happens and they panic because they don't wanna commit murder and there's really no other way to get the money once they object. but just take a hostage and then with someone else's life in their hands, the teller won't be so cool in laughing at you. that would be the smart thing to do. you don't have to kill anyone and you get the money.


    but luckily some of them don't figure that out and no one gets hurt or traumatized.

    My dad said one time when he was working at a gas station in college he was robbed at gun point. Apparently he asked the guy if he wanted the change too and he responded by saying "Give me everything you've got!" so my dad loaded it down with change and as the guy was running across the parking lot (apparently he started crying as he left) the changed caused the bottom of the paper bag to fall out and his money went flying all over the parking lot.
