------- Robber's Brilliant Plan Goes Down the Drain --------
CLAIRTON, Pittsburgh - A plumber in Pittsburgh must have been sniffing too much pipe dope when he decided to rob a string of convenience stores. Robert Peter Nelson, 21, might have gotten away with it, had the name "Nelson Plumbing and Heating" not been plastered in big bold leters along with the telephone number on his van. Witnesses at the three convenience stores described the van with the telephone number for incredulous police, who arrested Nelson as he got out of the van in Clairton on Sunday. An officer was familiar with where the van was usually parked.

Thats nothin- My wife got robbed by 2 guys once when she worked at a convenience store. The getaway car was a orange 69 Charger painted exactly like the Duke boys car.
The "boys" went to jail.

Same thing happened in North Bay, Ontario. It was a guy with a Limosine Service and magnets on the side. A limo driver in a town of 50,000. How hard is going to be to find him? Add the magnets. Bad enough you would rob a convenience store. (oh wow, $50 for 2 years in prison?????? These is so stupid I can't even think of anything sarcastic to say!!!! I don't think that prison is going to help these losers.

Let's see, now a Plumber doing Highway Robbery... so what's new there?
I like the guy who handed his Stick Up note to a bank teller written on the back of an envelope addressed to himelf...
...and the guy who went in to rob a bank using Nun Chakus (sp?) as his weapon and knocked himself out cold. I saw that one on the surveillance tape.
..Two kids in Ontario (Cal) walked into a convenience store and shot and killed the woman behind the counter in front of her husband. The next day they wanted to see themselves in print and went to buy a newspaper-- from the husband/witness.
Last week the local police called us at work to see if a certain woman had been in. Seems she was passing off some counterfeit $20s. Yep, she had and when searching our monies, there it was. So we all got a lesson in telling the real stuff from the fake stuff.
Oh? How did they know? Seems the woman owed some fines at the police department and went in and paid them... in cash... counterfeit cash!!
Is that just too funny or what??!!

One time in the 60s there was a guy arrested for keeping a nickle slot machine in the back room of a malt shop close to a high school. He denied it but there were too many witnesses against him. The judge fined him $200 and he went to pay it in nickles! O.K., said the judge - "You sit there and count it out for the bailiff." ha ha. Gotcha.
