Displaying Full Evidence Of Idiocy

A customer pulls up in a burgundy taxi, tells the driver to wait, and then comes into the store.

He then pulls out a knife and a garbage bag and tells me to fill the bag with cartons of cigarettes.

I fill the bag and watch as the crook then runs into what he thinks is his burgundy taxi, and slams the door behind himself.

Unbeknownst to him, I have just watched the taxi drive away, after seeing him attempt to rob the store, and a burgundy cop car, driven by a store regular, pull up.

Now the cop has just pulled into the gas station to get fuel, and some random guy has jumped into the back of his cop car, holding a knife and a bag full of stolen cigarette cartons, and locked himself in…

It takes a full hour for the cop to take my statement, because we can’t stop laughing at the idiot who arrested himself while holding the evidence of his robbery.
