Suspected thief in Colorado drops gun, loses pants in botched robbery
Video captures the surprise on the suspect’s face as the gun makes its way over the counter. The suspect attempts to climb over the counter, before appearing to change his mind. He runs back out the door. He is then seen losing his pants before going off screen. The clerk then goes to the door and appears to lock it.Police released the video in hopes of identifying the suspect and arresting him. The owner of the store told the Denver Post he was surprised by the footage. “I don’t want to downplay the seriousness of an armed robbery, but the guy really does belong in the ‘world’s dumbest criminals,’” Chris Burgess said. “He needs to find a new career.” He added store policy is to give suspected armed robbers “whatever they want.” He said in this situation, the clerk reacted appropriately. Officers obtained the replica gun in question and say they’re hoping to obtain fingerprints from it to help in the investigation.

A story from my hometown! Was the suspect from the Lyle, Lingle, or Benedict families? Was he a Last Chance College student (Lincoln College)? Perhaps a visiting gentleman from our finer small towns like New Holland or Middletown?
Also, will the clown car known as the Lincoln Police Department solve this crime or will it become just another bungled shit show? I’m betting on a fine no-no performance from the LPD…no arrests, no convictions. They are exceptional.
And people wonder why I never went back….
LOL
My former home town as well! Glad I haven’t been back…….
You from Lincoln, IL?
A day without DOTs or DRTs. Ah, well, not everyday can start perfectly. There’s always tomorrow.
Guy can’t even hold up his pants let alone a store.
Why try lifting prints from the BB gun when the LEOs have both on the countertops ? Joe
Love how calm and collected the clerk is!
Well, at least he didn’t get caught with his pants down.
Good one! I needed a laugh. Thanks.
Here, hold my gun and watch this.
