Armed Robber Finds God During Hold-Up (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20091021/tod-armed-robber-finds-god-during-hold-u-870a197.html)

An armed robber in America turned to God mid-robbery in what investigators are calling the strangest case they have ever seen.

Gregory Smith, 23, walked into a store in an Indianapolis shopping centre brandishing a gun.

But instead of raiding the place, he started hugging his tearful victim, Angela Montez, telling her he hated what he was doing but had no choice.

The pair began discussing God and before long Smith was on his knees in tears, praying and being hugged by her.

He eventually stole only her mobile phone and $20 (£12).

As Smith left the shop cameras got a clear shot of his face.

He then handed himself into police after his mother saw the footage on TV.

Sergeant Kevin Wethington from Indianapolis police said: "I've been a detective for three years and I've never seen anything like it."

Authorities Don't Give a Shit, Throw Man in Cage for 17 Years

I suppose he can do God's work in prison too. I did like how they got the veteran 3-year detective for the amazement-quote.

I'm not sure they should give a shit.

The idea that he found god and then robbed the woman anyway says a lot.

I'm not sure they should give a shit.Oh I understand, it's just the funny ending to every real-life emotional drama story that involves a crime.

Yes, the "only took her cell phone and $20" was another winner.

What can you even do with a stolen cellphone? Don't carriers flag the IMEI #?

It is interesting that they don't mention how much money she had on her. She might have only had 20 dollars.
