Man Tricked by Phoney Sorcerer, Robs Bank

[Guest SP-1]

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian police are looking for a phony sorcerer who conned a man into believing he was invisible and could rob banks, the Jam-e Jam newspaper said Thursday.

 

 

 

Customers at a Tehran bank quickly overpowered the deluded robber after he started snatching banknotes from their hands.

 

 

Appearing in court, the repentant thief said he paid five million rials ($625) to a man who gave him some spells and told him to tie them to his arm to become invisible.

 

 

"I made a mistake. I understand now what a big trick was played on me," the would-be bank robber was reported as telling the judge. His name was not given.

 

 

That's the funniest news item I've read in a long time, LOL. It's from Yahoo, and that's the full article, save the header.

Yet another reason why idiocy is a condition that should be punishable by death. Jesus, I just cannot fathom how anyone could believe that they could become invisible.

Wonder what happened to the robber? Iran isn't very keen on letting the punishment fit the crime...
