What would the Technodrome be without some good ol' fashioned ninja hijinks? Saw this article today and had to pass it along.

Armed «Ninja» robbed gas station

A gas station in downtown Arendal was robbed around 5 a.m. Tuesday by a person dressed as a Japanese ninja, armed with a sword and a knife. He took off on a bike.

This information was provided to the local paper Agderposten by an eye witness, who also stated that the robber was carrying both a sword and a knife.

«I was going down there to buy cigarettes, when I saw a man run into the gas station,» the eye witness explained to the paper. «He was wearing something that looked like a ninja hood, carrying a knife, and he had a sword sticking up from the back of his pants.»

David Stamnes at the Agder police district confirmed that that robber was wearing some sort of mask, armed with a knife, and had something unidentified sticking up from the back of his pants.

«The robber was allegedly of foreign decent, and he threatened the clerk and got a hold of a couple of bills,» Stamnes said.

There was one person on duty at the gas station when the robber occurred around 5 am.

Later, the "Ninja" called the authorities, left his name and number and claimed to be an eye witness in order to obtain the tip-off money. He was shortly thereafter arrested.

I blame the Ninja Turtles. They infected the youth of the 90's with this ninja hysteria, and now the kids have grown up into ninja theives.

Ninjas are totally sweet. If I saw a ninja, I'd just ask to be killed by him/her.

I thought ninjas were supposed to be cunning. That guy had it going on until he called the police to get the reward money. What a bonehead! He wouldn't do too well when Tetsu says "ninja vanish" and the he rides off on a bicycle. Too bad he was just some idiot in a ninja outfit and not the beginning of a major ninja crime ring. They could be the Norwegian branch of the Foot.

Hehe, the ninja strikes hard then fades away...then tries to collect reward money :lol:

I remember one night during my senior year of high school, 7 seniors dressed up as ninjas and snuck onto the school property. They made it onto the roof and hung this huge banner across the front of the school saying, "Mr. Fields' School of Soul." Mr. Fields was a black principal. It was amazing. Quality American ninjas at work.

Getting away by bicycle... not very ninja like. Would have been better if he threw down a smoke bomb and vanished into thin air.

Or at least throw down a smoke bomb AND THEN ride away on the bicycle.

:lol: Ninja crime spree in Norway... definitely not a series of isolated incidents!

this person sounds like a real moron

He rode away on a bike? That is hilarious.

Voltron 03-24-2004 04:24 PM

Yeah, but he rode the bike on telephone wires

It would be very hard to ride a bike with a sword sticking out the back of your pants, don't ya think? They should make a line of ninja bike accessories like a sword rack or smoke screen or a little horn that plays a stealthy, sneaking sound.

You need to get a patent on one of those... :wink: :lol:

At first when I read bike, I thought they meant motorcycle. That would have been cool... sorta... if the guy wasn't a thieving idiot.

Every time I see what seems to be a smart criminal, they always prove me wrong.

Justice will be served. Usually by people like this. XD
