What an interesting way to rob a store. So…non-menacing! LOL! TMZ reports a man wearing a giant Gumby costume tried to knock over a 7-Eleven in San Diego early this morning announcing as he entered, “This is a robbery!”
The clerk behind the counter thought it was a prank — so to prove he meant business, Gumby reached into his pockets to procure a weapon.
But thanks to his bulky, Halloween-clearance-outlet costume, no weapon was ever produced — Gumby fumbled for several moments … but ultimately gave up and beat a hasty, embarrassing retreat.
The video is hilarious — cops tell TMZ, the man dropped $.26 while bungling around for his gun … and actually tried to pick it up before taking off.
A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to Gumby’s arrest. Chances are he is unarmed and completely harmless.
