LINCOLN, Neb. – Police in Nebraska are looking a man who stole cigarettes while disguising himself with a beer carton on his head.

Lincoln police Capt. Bob Kawamoto says the man walked into a Kwik Shop convenience store before dawn Monday wearing an empty Bud Light box on his head as a mask.

Kawamoto says the man also had wrapped something around one of his hands, suggesting he was armed. But the man never showed a weapon.

Police said the bandit left with nine packs of smokes valued at nearly $50.

Police spokeswoman Katie Flood said Tuesday morning that the robbery was captured on video. She said the man also dropped the empty 12-pack box as he fled, and it will be checked for fingerprints.
"I'm a foolish old man that has been drawn into a wild goose chase by a harpy in trousers and a nincompoop."

That is pretty funny.
Though, if he had a cigarette carton on his head and he was stealing beer...

Hey, at least he recycled the beer carton.

What would he have done if he had drank only a six pack?
Islamic sex dolls.  Do they blow themselves up?

Hey, he's smarter, not by much though, then the Duct Tape Bandit.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
