The cool and collected nature of this patron just trying to enjoy his cocktail with a fresh lit cigarette, while being held up at gunpoint is heroic. You don't see something like this everyday. At least it's usually in the movies.
This guy had robbed 7 stores before this, and decided to test his luck again with an 8th miserably failed robbery attempt. Queue up the cops, justice, high fives, and laughs. Not this time, buddy!
Last year in Spruce Grove, Alberta, two suspects put up a fight the likes of which made for an absolutely riveting two and a half minutes of security footage. While the man amazingly (and stupidly) faces off with a police offer, the woman tries to find an alternate route out. Oh, and it's set to music too.
Hundreds of dollars in damage over $40 worth of weed. It is time for a serious life assessment, my dude.
Now this is the shit I live for, when it comes to digging up Fail-packed videos for the community here at Fail Blog. Not only is this robbery all kinds of Fail; but it's at a vape shop robbery. A VAPE SHOP. Those Juuls are a hot commodity, I guess...especially if the shop's carrying discontinued pod flavors.
Whether you're driving a stolen car up to a police station or not covering your face while stealing security cameras, there are less embarrassing ways to get arrested. These people had some interesting stories to tell about idiots they know. Turns out people say some really stupid things around police.
It's bad enough to get your things stolen, but it bumps up the creep factor to find out you could've been literally inches away from a scary stranger the whole time. This is is some Shawshank Redemption level crime right here. If you're in the mood for more creepy things people found in their dwellings, you can read them here.
Sometimes robbers are so blinded by their greed-riddled desire to get the cash out the register that they forget to account for the person working there, to fight back! In these cases, nothing went to plan, and chaos erupted, or instant karma came around to collect.
Last month, employees at a cannabis dispensary in Canada were forced to fight off would-be robbers who assaulted them with bear spray. This employee grabbed the first thing he could find, which ended up being a formidable bong. It looks like he was ready to smoke those intruders before they ran off. None of the employees were seriously injured.
These three buffoons didn't know what they were walking into when they tried to rob Bar One Racing in County Cork, Ireland. Tim Murphy (office manager) and Denis O'Conor (badass great-grandpa) fearlessly warded off their attempts. And to think those goons thought a measly sawed off shotgun and a couple hammers would do the trick.
This couple from Staten Island, NY mistook a rusty and battered-down old metal safe for an electrical box wedged between a couple trees in their backyard. Well, as fate would have it that "box" was a safe which was stuffed with $52,000 worth of cash and jewels and gold. The wholesome couple took it upon themselves to return their findings...
