Man dressed as Gumby attempts to rob at a 7-Eleven in Penasquitos
A man dressed as Gumby attempted to rob a Rancho Penasquitos 7-Eleven early Monday morning – however his efforts were snubbed because the clerk couldn’t take him seriously.
The suspect told the clerk at the store on Carmel Mountain Rd. that he was robbing the store, San Diego Police Detective Gary Hassen said.
The clerk, thinking the man was playing a prank, responded that he didn’t have time, and that he had to clean. Video surveillance shows the suspect fumbling in his pocket for a non-existent gun.
After a few minutes, the suspect left with an accomplice in a van.
The attempt occurred at 12:30 a.m. Monday morning, but the clerk didn’t think to report it to police until 6 a.m. that morning.
I’m speechless.
He needs to go to the Pokey.
LOL!
“But...but...I’m Gumby, damn it! Stop laughing at me!”
I think he got this idea from a Saturday Night Live Eddie Murphy sketch.
The Blockheads and Goo were not available for comment LOL
And then the mooing stopped.
Oops, wrong thread.
I’m Gumby dammit!
