VIDEO: Bank Robbery Doesn’t Go Down Quite The Way One Criminal Hoped It Would

The only robbery attempt that you will laugh at.

Bank robberies can be traumatizing experiences. But it’s hard to be horrified when you’re too busy laughing at the robber. 

A Chinese bank clerk was caught on CCTV laughing at an incompetent bank robber who threatened her with a meat cleaver, seemingly not realising that she was hidden behind an unbreakable security barrier.

If that wasn’t enough reason to laugh, the man also stopped mid-robbery to answer his phone. Obviously, he just leaned against the glass to tell whoever it was that he was busy and to call back later.

“He said ‘this is a robbery’ in a really quiet voice and then asked me to hold on while he took a phone call,” the clerk said.

We hope all robberies turn out this way.
