A holdup in Belgium

When there is a Belgian in a joke told by a French, you can be sure that the Belgian is stupid. Belgians are taking their revenge by telling jokes where the French are arrogant, with a superiority complex. Well, all Belgians are not stupid, but many are, and here a fresh proof with this news from a Belgian tv channel. The news is in French and I got the giggles watching it, but there are several video monitoring footage, so you might be interested to watch it, you should just read the story first : Last Saturday six robbers entered in a tobacconist shop in Belgium, showed guns to the tobacconist and asked him to give the cash. He told them : «Guys, you are stupid, it is only 3 PM. For a holdup, you should come at 6 and a half, I have only 1000 now, I would have a lot more. Come back later !» And... they left without taking a cent ! The tobacconist called the police and asked them to be in his shop at 6 1/2 PM for the holdup. The police said that they would not come back. «Oh, they will be here, they are not that smart !» Bad luck, they came back, but at 5 1/2 pm, when the police was not yet arrived. The tobacconist told them «Do you need a watch ? It is only 5:30. Come back in an hour !» And... they left again ! Yes, I know, it is hard to believe. Indeed, they came back one hour later for the big cash. The police was there, waiting in the stockroom. They managed to arrest 1 robber in the shop and 3 outdoors. I guess it is a good score... for Belgian policemen. Next time a Belgian tells me that they are less stupid than in our jokes, I will give him the URL of this video... spelling it very slowly.

"Histoire Belge"! I have seen the video this morning and I have forwarded to our friend in Monte-Carlo, we used to laugh a lot about Belgian Jokes. This is incredible, should I had seen this in a movie I would have said it was too stupid to be real.

The shopkeeper calling the police to be present at 6 1/2 for a holdup and telling that the robbers would be there because "ce ne sont pas des lumières" is not bad too! It seems unbelievable from A to Z, and without the video footage I would not have believed this story ! But it happened in Belgium !

@LadyDuck Nobody would believe that there are people that can be that stupid on this planet without the video. I downloaded it to my phone to show to friends.

@topffer My husband thought I was joking, I had to show him the video and he had a hard time to believe it was true.

Hello Stine, I am pleased to see you back! It would have happened in a movie, I would have said that it was not credible, but with the video footage I am forced to admit that such a level of stupidity exists on our planet... at least in Belgium!

If it is for a holdup, do not believe the shopkeeper if he tells you to come back at 6 1/2, it is a trap.

I had a boss who was saying that you can fill ignorance but not stupidity because it is already filled and full.

That is a hilarious story but also rather sad that there are such very stupid and desperate people in this world. Hope they learned a lesson.

Even more hilarious when you listen to the anchor presenting that very seriously. At this level of stupidity, it could have been certainly serious, they could have killed the shopkeeper as well. He is frightened because 2 of these guys have not been arrested.
