Stupid Crooks use Toy Gun

But did they simply use it to threaten people into doing their will by making them believe it was real? No, they used a plastic toy to try and pistol whip someone:

Two thieves in Hong Kong on Thursday tried to rob a 55-year-old woman working as a parking lot cleaner, the Ming Pao Daily News reported Friday. Police said when the woman wouldn't hand over any money, the men began hitting her on the head with a toy gun, the paper reported.

Good thing they don't live around here. They probably wouldn't have survived the encounter.
