Woman wearing garbage bag fails to rob jewelery store in El Paso, Texas
A real bag lady>>
Ranking high in the stupidest hold-up in history category - and it was all captured on CCTV film.
A woman with a large, black rubbish sack over her head and body attempted to rob a jewelery shop while her accomplice waited outside with her getaway vehicle - a wheelchair.
The farcical hold-up began when Noemi Duchene arrived outside the jewelers in El Paso, Texas, having been pushed to the store in a wheelchair, the Daily Mail reports.
As CCTV cameras captured her arrival outside the Estate and New Jewelery store, the 44-year-old rises out of the wheelchair.
She clumsily covers her head and body with a billowing black rubbish sack with two holes cut out for her eyes before walking into the store.
Once inside she pulls out a 30cm-long hunting knife, approaches owner Linda Bradley and demands "everything".
But Ms Bradley - who is clearly a cool head in a crisis or recognizes a blithering idiot when she sees one - swiftly assessed the situation.
Rather than be scared, the CCTV shows Bradley running behind the counter to grab a pink-colored stun gun and giving chase.
Reaching her get-away wheelchair, the would be robber discovered her driver had fled. Due to a weak battery she was unable to outrun the angry shop owner who 'stunned' her into submission whilst waiting for the police to arrive. After several minutes a passing garbage collection truck stopped and tossed the robber inside with the other garbage. The woman was taken to a land fill where she was arrested by police before she could be turned under.
It was not known if the garbage bag robber was represented by an attorney but probably not. It also was not known if she had a psychiatrist, either, but probably not.
