An Armed Robber Is Given A Cuppa

A man in Czechoslovakia donned a Spiderman mask and walked in to a supermarket brandishing a gun to rob the cashier of the money in her till but got more than he bargained for from the cashier, fifty nine year old Marketa Vachova.

Even though the would be robber was hidden behind a Spiderman mask and brandishing a gun at her she thought he was a nice young man and started to ask him what had caused him to want to rob the shop. As the shop was quiet and they were the only people present they got talking and Marketa, the cashier even invited him back for a cup of tea and a slice of cake!

The man in question actually apologised for what he was doing in the end, agreed to come back for the cake and cup of tea before walking out of the supermarket without the cash.

Unfortunately for our masked man the Czechoslovakian police are currently looking for him and say that he could potentially end up with a ten year prison sentence.

My hat goes off to Marketa Vachova who really did face something most people would not be able to handle and manage to diffuse the whole situation through the power of conversation.
