World's most polite robber holds-up store (Video)
It doesn't make what he did any better, but this could be the world's most polite and apologetic armed robber.
The elderly man had walked into a Shell petrol station in Seattle and made a purchase before asking the cashier to do him a 'favour'.
As this CCTV footage shows he then produced a gun and told the man "Could you empty that till for me please … I'm robbing you sir."
Retaining impeccable manners throughout the raid the man said he was committing the crime to feed his family and repeatedly apologised for what he was doing.
Taking $300 he even said he'd return the money if was ever back in a better financial position… but after being arrested he we first have to show how polite he can be to judge.
