Shoplifter With No Arms Steals 24 Inch Television

Germany: A shoplifter with no arms has walked straight out of a Munich retailer with a 24" television having been assisted to clamp the set to his chest by two other people. It wasn't until later that the missing set was noticed and CCTV reviewed.

"Staff only knew about the theft after they saw one of the display TVs had been taken off its stand. It's hard to believe that the sight of an armless man walking along with a giant TV clamped to his body did not get anyone's attention," said police.



I've got to hand it to him, unarmed robbery of a TV, wristing imminent arrest if the police finger you in the lineup, thats quite alot to handle for one night.

Damn, those TVs cost an arm and a leg!

And those two people sure were helpful in giving him a hand...

One more? Ok. When disabled people start stealing flat screen TVs, what is the world coming to?? Surely it's the sign of Armageddon...

Were the people helping him just other shoppers or accomplices? I wonder if he'll have to shoulder the charges on his own.

Well, by law they have to give disabled people equal opportunity, right? Maybe it was just a way to meet their quota of "disabled thefts."

As long as he can fashion a shank he should get through quite handily.

Well, all I can say is that none of this would've ever happened if German citizens had the right to bear arms.

Normally people carry out stupid robberies when they're leglesss, not when they're armless. He must be quite the handy criminal to have made it out of trhe shop without being detected.

Still, he's quite the handyman to pull off such a quick-fingered heist.

Luckily, he didn't pull this off in Saudi Arabia, or they'd be looking for something other than a hand to cut off. Smiley: jawdrop

It's political correctness gone mad. Our ham-fisted approach to equal opportunities means police never get a grip on hardened criminals like this one, just for fear of being seen as bigoted.

The armless have been disadvantaged and disrespected for generations. It's understandable that they are treated with lenience and given a hand-up.
