Crime doesn’t pay, but politeness does

“Excuse me, do you have any Grey Poupon? And a bag of cash?”

An Australian man waited politely in a long line at a packed Sydney post office, using his best manners until it was his turn at the window. At that point, his wily criminal mind took over as he jumped over the counter, grabbed some cash, and beat it out the door. As the postal workers chased after the considerate robber, he ended up dropping some of his loot. He also lost a rather large knife, which could have cut his waiting time in half. Authorities are still looking for the patient bandit, who may be sitting somewhere in Sydney thinking “D’oh! I forgot the stamps!”
