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.
Sit back and enjoy watching this German "robber" try and fail amazingly miserably, at robbing a gas station. The gas station attendant in this scenario has nerves of steel. By all appearances this person is absolutely unfazed.
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.
Life is full of opportunities for someone to take advantage of you at a moment's notice. You probably know the drill. Don't meet strangers in remote locations, don't walk alone at night while staring at your phone, and don't ever fight fair.
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...
When you're a small business owner, you've got to protect yourself. So when this dude came into a smoke shop and kept telling the owners that he had a gun and was going to rob the place, you best do it and get out.
Unfortunately for that dude, he didn't anticipate this family of crime fighters to put the kibosh on it. He also didn't anticipate the owner's jump kick.
Here's the full story from the description:
"My daughter and I were on shift at Tracks Smoke Shop in Elmwood Park, NJ. Guy walks into the shop around 6:15PM. Soft spoken, hoodie on. First thing he says is, "I have a gun and can rob you (taps his chest), but, that would not be the right thing to do." He proceeds to pick up different items and look at it while mumbling the same things repeatedly, " I have a gun and can rob you." My daughter Jazmin and I humored him with his questions about different products as we did not want to agitate him until we could safely call someone or the police. I was waiting for an opportunity to call my son Jonathan back to the store to help us allow the guy to leave quietly. When Jonathan arrived about five minutes after I called him, he came with his dog. Once Jonathan engaged the guy (as seen at the beginning of the video),I immediately went to the back office and called the Elmwood Park, NJ police department and was explaining to the dispatcher what was going on when I saw the guy put the gun on the counter and reach into his pocket to pull out the cartridge to load it. I then told the dispatcher to send the police immediately and ran out to assist Jonathan and Jazmin. When I returned, Jonathan was telling the guy to get out of the store. The guy kept saying he wanted his gun which Jonathan had successfully grabbed from him. We told him to step outside the store first and we would return it. He finally stepped to the front door but not outside. The police arrived at that moment and the guy then walked outside and started walking away. The cops intercepted and he resisted. It took five police officers to contain him. He was then arrested and subsequently released less than 24 hours later pending a hearing".
