This story is very visual, and there's a lot going on. I'll try to help you keep up.
But get ready, it opens up with a minor pun.
"
Underwear donning robber apprehended after brief pursuit"
http://deseretnews.com/article/0,5143,705265792,00.htmlWe
can't say if the editor or the beat reporter is responsible for this
one. Check the official box score after the game. The rest
of the action we'll present in pieces to introduce the other elements,
in as near a reasonable order as possible in this madcap tail.
"
the
knife-brandishing 48-year-old man entered the golf shop ... around 4
p.m. At first the clerk thought the man was wearing a ski mask, but it
turned out to be a pair of men's underwear"
It's always
curious when a perp tries a hold-up with a knife in the USA {he says as
he fingers his concealed weapons permit from a 'shall-issue'
State}. But it gets even better.
"
The
man demanded money and the clerk retorted, "You gotta be kidding." The
man insisted, and the clerk tried to disarm the man. In the struggle,
the knife broke at the hilt, and the man ran out of the store."
The
knife broke! What was that again I was saying about the $7.99
super survival kit knives, with compass and wood saw in the hilt?
Try
really hard now to capture this entire scene: angry clerk, embarrassed
robber - with underwear on his head, holding the butt of a broken
knife, being chased...
by two guys on a golf cart.
"
The
clerk told a couple of nearby golf shop patrons the man tried to rob
him. The two customers chased the man down using their golf cart and
detained him until police arrived."
As you might imagine, the story got plenty of cheeky comments in the local papers' forums.

Why didn't the clerck just give the robber a wedgie ? That'd held hime 'till the cops came- especially an atomic one."

All we need is Bill Murray hiding in the bushes to make the scene complete. "A real Cinderella story ladies and gentlemen...""
