LINCOLN, Neb. – Police in Nebraska are looking a man who stole cigarettes while disguising himself as a beer carton. The man walked into a Kwik Shop convenience store before dawn Monday wearing an empty Bud Light box on his head as a mask, said Lincoln police Capt. Bob Kawamoto. The man also had wrapped something around one of his hands, suggesting he was armed, said Kawamoto. But the man never showed a weapon. The bandit left with nine packs of smokes valued at nearly $50, police said.


At first I thought this was Joba Chamberlains handiwork, but there is no way he has the brains to pull off a heist like this. Because make no mistake about it. This guy wasn’t lucky. He was flat out brilliant. I mean do you think if this mastermind wears a ski mask into the store he’s able to pull this caper off? No fucking way. The clerk pushes the emergency button so fast that the police would be on him before he could blink. But instead he dons the Bud Light 24 pack mask because he knows it’s the universal sign for harmless drunk. So he gets the clerk to lower his guard, maybe even chuckle a little bit and then boom he pounces and is knee deep in smokes and half way to Mexico before the store even knows it was robbed. Like I said….Brilliant.
