People unclear on the concept - robbing a bar

From Chicago's DNAinfo:
VIDEO: Wicker Park Bar Break-In Thwarted When Man Pulls Door Marked 'Push'
The owner of a Division Street bar got an unpleasant but slightly comical surprise when an apparent burglar managed to remove a lock on the bar's front door � but couldn't get in because he was pulling the unlocked door instead of pushing it.

Surveillance video from the bar shows a man twisting and prying a lock at The Shambles and dislodging a safety guard doorstop after seven minutes of work early Friday. Nonetheless, he failed to get in after aggressively pulling the door repeatedly. A sticker on the outside of the door reads "PUSH."

"It's much funnier on the video, but the still shots show him pulling on the door. He could have pushed it," said Joe Lin, owner of The Shambles at 2050 W. Division St. in Wicker Park.
That is weapons-grade stupidity... Posted by DaveH at January 15, 2014 10:48 AM
