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.

The issue with crime is not “Gun Control” it is “Tax Control”.

Wow. Looks like the robbery wasn’t the only crime committed there.

Somehow, I have trouble believing that this is going to be made into a “Real Men of Genius” commercial...

Yikes! When I quit smoking cigs were $3/pack.
And I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a Bud Light box.

I once bought cigs for 19 cents a pack, in NC or Virginia, on the way to a protest march in DC! A few moons ago. So that “haul” then would have been $1.71.

You gotta give the guy points for creativity. That'll go over well in prison, I'm sure.

Witnesses gave conflicting descriptions to police, with some asserting that the perpetrator was “less filling” while others maintained that he “tastes great.”
