I can't believe I've just watched that, I don't condone this sort of thing, but I actually feel sorry for the robber and he does actually seem genuine when apologising. I can only imagine that times really have become hard for us.

reminds me of the film a few years back (i'm thinking it was Steve Martin - Down & Out in Beverly Hills or something?) - stood at the cashpoint and the muggers were all queuing the other side to the public and when they made a cash withdrawl, the mugger stood forward "Good evening Sir, my name is Pork and I'll be your mugger this evening"
