    Armed Robbery?

    Armless thief steals TV

    Police in Germany are hunting a thief with no arms who managed to walk out of a shop with a 24-inch TV.

    Two accomplices used clamps to fix the TV to his body before helping him out of the store in Munich, Germany.

    Staff did not realise what had happened until they noticed a TV was missing from its stand and looked back at CCTV recordings.

    A police spokesman said: "Staff only knew about the theft after they saw one of the display TVs had been taken off its stand.

    "It's hard to believe that the sight of an armless man walking along with a giant TV clamped to his body did not get anyone's attention."

    ----------------------

    You'd think that someone who walked into a shop with no way to work a remote control would attract attention.

    Why the heck didn't the accomplices CARRY it for him?? That should go to the book of DUMBEST CRIMINALS.

    I have to wonder was ANYONE paying attention? How do you not notice someone taking a display, much less an ARMLESS guy. Sheesh

    Most parents teach their kids not to stare at amputees, I guess it becomes a life lesson.
