Man Politely Robs Store

[bangkokcitylimits]

Authorities have made an arrest in a weekend convenience store robbery that a Seattle store owner found remarkable for the robber's politeness. Officers quickly identified a suspect from tips received after this surveillance video "went viral".

He's probably an old pensioner who knows he will be better treated in jail and have a better life than trying to eke out a living in some fleabag hotel on his tiny pension. They made a great movie about that once.

That's the one, Jazzbo. It was a very funny movie with a good plot line played by great actors, and only too true. Thanks for finding the heading. George Burns was priceless in his comments to the cop after he was caught.

from Wikipedia entry:

On his way to Al's funeral, Joe is arrested. When Al's nephew arrives to visit Joe in prison, he asks Pete not to bother. Joe explains that he

gets three square meals a day and generally is getting "treated like a king around here." The movie ends as Joe is being escorted back to his

cell. He looks mischievously at Pete and says, "Besides, no tin-horn joint like this could ever hold me!"
