In one of 2007's earliest bids for the title of Rubbish Criminal of the Year, an armed robber fled after a shop assistant started laughing at him and told him he looked like a schoolboy.
Ivana Idzan, 22, was behind the till in a clothes shop in the Croatian capital Zagreb when the robber ran in holding a gun and told her to give him all the cash in a shop.
She said: 'He just looked so young and nervous, like a spotty schoolboy on his lunch break and it just made me laugh to think he was trying to be a tough guy with a gun robbing a store.
'He looked totally shocked when I started laughing at him and then just turned on his heels and ran.'
Police are studying film from a security camera in the shop and have begun a search for the young man.
