A bat-wielding thief had no idea what he was getting into when he entered a Shirley, New York deli with the intention of robbing it. After demanding money, the deli owner pulled out a gun and the thief collapsed in tears, begging for forgiveness and saying he was just desperate for money to feed his hungry family.
The deli owner seems a man of infinite mercy, however, because instead of calling the police he gave the would-be thief $40 and a loaf of bread, extracting a promise from him to never rob again.
The two ended up shaking hands.
