Lil' Miss Armed Robbery

A Largo, Florida Wal-Mart was robbed at knife-point last night.

Ths perp?  A 7-year-old girl.

The haul?  2 boxes of Legos.

The getaway car?  Her bicycle.

The only bit of the story that doesn't have an adorable twist to it is the knife itself.  No EZ-Bake accessory this:

Police say the little girl then opened her jacket and displayed a combo carving knife with a forked point and a 10" blade, saying she was armed for protection.

The little dear dropped the loot and the knife before pedaling away.

(HT: Drudge)

Update:  Um... this is a little weird.  While the above story is no longer linked on Drudge, he now links to another story about a Florida store undergoing another knife-point robbery which also took place yesterday.  Whereas I'd dubbed the first story "Lil' Miss Armed Robbery", this second incident happens to have taken place at a store called "Lil' Saints".  Strange.

Even stranger was how the robbery attempt unfolded.  Simply delightful.  Let's just say the Lego Larcenist's mere 10" carving knife would indeed have looked like an EZ-Bake accessory at the Lil' Saints face-off.  Watch the surveillance footage.
