A recent attempted robbery of a California jewelry store has no chance of ever being compared to the greatest heist ever.
Two teen would-be robbers walk into a family owned jewelry store in Fresno, Calif., with one being seen on camera pulling out a large hand gun and demanding cash and jewelry, KFSN reported.
At the same moment, the other teen pulled out his cell phone and decided to make a call, even as he tried to jump a counter.
While it’s not clear if the call was successful, the leap was not.
Having failed to clear the counter, the teen began to circle around behind the counter just as store owner Soledad Castaneda emerged from the back room with a shotgun – Castaneda was in the back of the store when she heard the employee yelling that they were being held up, according to KFSN-TV.
The unarmed teen was close to the door and wasted little time in getting out of Dodge, but not before calling on his colleague to shoot the victims. Fortunately for all, the armed teen was too busy beating a hasty retreat of his own to take heed of the advice.

Well, that part is not so funny. I hope a judge and jury agree.
Nice store owner! If I pull out my shotgun to defend myself someone is getting blown away.
But they are good boys, trying to turn their lives around, learning a trade, loved by all, etc.
Unaccompanied minors from south of the border?
Is this another one of Jeb’s acts of love?
At this point “What difference does it make”?
Wasn ‘t there a jewelry store robbery several years back wherein the two democrats, errr, I mean robbers threatened the people in the store and wound up being DRTed by SIX pistols at once-— owner, employees and customers?
Give ‘em a break! It was their first robbery and they were a bit nervous. The clue was when he pulled out the gun and said: “Hands up, Mother sticker, this is a F**kup!!”
The guy on the left looks like Johnny Manziel. Is he doing stick-ups now to keep his mug in the spotlight? LOL
Just shoppin’ for some new grillz, homies!
I hear they are aspiring rappers/athletes...their grandmothers will undoubtedly tell you so.
