Police are looking for a man who attempted to rob a convenience store early Wednesday with an electric drill.
A man wearing black jeans, a black sweater and a black mask entered the Kwik Shop near First Street and Cornhusker Highway at 2:49 a.m., Lincoln Police Officer Katie Flood said.
He demanded money and held an object concealed under a towel to look like a gun, Flood said.
The clerk, however, noticed a drill bit and saw a cord hanging from below the towel and refused to give the man money.
After the clerk told the man she thought it was an electric drill, the man left without taking anything.
A man in the area saw the man leave the store, run toward a nearby mobile home park and leave eastbound in a dark-colored, four-door car, Flood said.
The manager of the Kwik Shop provided police with surveillance footage.
The clerk described the man as about 5-foot-5, 140 to 150 pounds. He is likely young, judging from his voice, Flood said.
Stop or I’ll countersink!
THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
Needs more extension cords
Outlaw those damn drills and rid ourselves of these issues!
Drill bits should require a permit to purchase.
(gasp) THAT would put a dent in someones day!
that is a whole lotta stupid right there.
at least use a cordless.. obviously the extension cord didn’t make it all the way to the store.

Hmmm... one of the kids from the Black Bloc, or one of the Usual Suspects? I only ask that because they didn't mention the perps race, and that usually means the latter...
That was funny.
not some fully automatic, assault drill with a clip that can hold hundreds of armor piercing bits.
This is a Makita 3/4” 40 Amp Model 440729-J, the most powerful hand drill ever made, and it will screw your head clean off. So you need to ask yourself just one question.
Do you feel lucky?
Well do ya, punk?
Narrator: Enjoy intense drama during the pre-battle briefing scene.
Lecturer: Okay, so what you want to do is this: You want to attack at the most vulnerable spot. Come at it from this angle and locate the automatic flip-flop override device here, which in turn will defuse the antigyroscopic preinterface thruster chamber, and the pneumatic centripetal antigravity shield deflectors, then you simply deactivate the axial gyro-presubinertia-photomegatronic oscillator that you see here.
Fluke Starbucker: Huh?
Lecturer: You pull the plug!
Black guy?
Noticed that important physical description information was missing, so can only assume it was one of Obama’s sons.
