[QUOTE="net1, post: 23501"] A robber in Scotland ended up five pounds worse off when he tried to raid a shop. The man asked for a packet of cigarettes and offered a £10 note to get the shopkeeper to open the till. But, when he produced a hammer and demanded the contents, he got just loose change amounting to about £5. As he fled, he left behind his £10 and the cigarettes, says the Daily Record. Shopkeeper Joyce McMaster, 55, said the man came into Brown Stores in Ayr. She said: "He asked for cigarettes and handed over a tenner. When I went into the till for his change he produced the hammer. "He shouted, `Give me the rest of the money' and I froze at first before telling him where to go. "As he tried to get his hand into the till, I instinctively banged it shut on his fingers. He ran off with a few quid. "I chased him out the door, but he was away far too fast. In the end, I've had a shock, he's down a few quid and he's not even got his cigarettes." [/QUOTE]
