Caller foils pathetic attempt to burglarize Family Dollar
Why rob a bank with a gun when you can knock off a dollar store with a trash can lid?
Delaware State Police say William O. Green, 45, of Chester, Pa., was arrested last night after a bold, yet pitiful, attempt to burglarize the Family Dollar in New Castle.
Green, apparently some kind of master of low expectations, meatheaded his way into the dollar store by throwing a metal trash can lid through the front window, police said. He was promptly arrested, before he even got into the store, when a passerby called 911. He was armed with a 6-inch folding knife, cops say.
If anyone has $36,500, you can bail Green out of the Howard R. Young Correctional Institute. Or you can go to Family Dollar and buy 36,500 items.

- This is funny dude and I appreciate the humor. @ First Degree, If this guy turns out to be the same braintrust who attempted a robbery in Harrisburg, he held a knife to the clerk's throat and beat her unconscious when she fought back so he needs to go down for more serious offenses.— kwhelm
- hi first degree ...do you really want to engage in a discussion about the typical ratio of crimes and victims and their physical characteristics...it's a little one-sided in philly dont you think. but i dont mean any harm to good natured citizens....as in all crimes, its best that the appropriate perpetrator is caught. sincerely twitter.com/dannyozark— danny ozark

- Mr, Bender,
Actually, you didn't fix any typos.
You corrected improper use of synonyms.
A typo is a misprint.
