I seriously could not make the following story up, even if I tried. You will probably be in stitches after reading this.
Inwood, West Virginia.
A robber decided to steal from a convenience store, he had everything all prepared: mask to protect identity, gun, getaway car and possibly a baggie to hold the stolen cash in. Ok, here's the thing: His mask was a pair of blue women's underwear and his gun was merely a pistol shaped lighter. Seriously, I couldn't make that up even if I tried.
The clerk simply laughed at the man and refused to give him any money, and thus the robber fled. He was caught a few minutes later by the police and found that is gun was only a lighter.
