Gotta love this story:
“Alleged robber’s order is refused
By The News-Gazette

CHAMPAIGN – An apparent robbery attempt at a Champaign sandwich store was reported Thursday night.
An employee told police that a man came into the Subway shop at 1814 Glenn Park about 10 p.m. Thursday, according to Champaign police spokeswoman Rene Dunn.
The man asked for money, but the employee thought he was joking, Dunn said. The man asked for money again, but the employee refused.
The man then started crying and walked out of the store without any money, Dunn said.”
Also from this report of local burglaries:
“…A black Sony iPod was stolen from the locker of a 13-year-old Champaign girl at Edison Middle School…”
Well of course it was stolen. It was the only Sony branded iPod in existence! Seriously though, is the name iPod being used as a general term for all MP3 players or DAPs? C’mon copy editors!
From the same report:
“…A home was broken into in the 1800 block of Winchester Street in Champaign on Thursday afternoon. The burglar took an AK-47 rifle, a Smith and Wesson .357 handgun, a 30-round magazine for the AK-47 and some marijuana…”
I would loved to have seen the looks on the cops faces when the victim reported his pot was stolen.
