Bummer!

Be very afraid - they're actually walking amongst us ... :-)

Story:
West Virginia -- When a man tried to rob a convenience store in Inwood using a small lighter shaped like a gun, his method of disguise reportedly became a source of amusement for the cashier.

"He entered the store wearing a pair of women's pajama shorts over his face," a West Virginia State Police spokesman said, adding "I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried."

At first the cashier thought it was a joke. Then the would-be robber showed the cashier his fake weapon. She was unsure if it was an actual gun or a cigarette lighter in the figure of a gun, which the store used to sell.

The cashier refused to comply with the attempted robber's demands and he fled the scene. The man was arrested several minutes later with another man while attempting to steal a tire off of a vehicle.
