Robber Gets Lost Trying To Get Away

MILWAUKEE -- Items needed for a robbery: fake gun -- check, getaway plan -- oops, forgot that.

That was the case of a 61-year-old man who allegedly tried to rob some people at a soccer complex but then couldn't find his way out.

Police said that the man walked into the Uihlein soccer complex in Milwaukee on Thursday afternoon armed with what looked like a gun.

Capt. Darlene Jenkins said that the man first held up a 54-year-old woman in an office who didn't have any money.

He then stuck up a 31-year-old man, who had a wallet -- but it was empty.

The frustrated robber fled, but couldn't find his way out.

When people finally realized the robber's gun wasn't real, they held him for police.

When police arrived, he complained of chest pains and was taken to the hospital -- and then to the jail.

I recall reading a biography of a high caliber criminal who spent time in Alcatraz.

He said they were hated by the general criminal population because the few "elite" ones knew how to NOT get caught and the general criminal was too stupid to avoid it.

Never bring a fake gun that does not look real to any fight.
