I apologize for the inconvenience

Generally I do not really like to write about crime blotter type issues.   It’s not really my thing, but I found the short article in the Journal about the robbers who apologized to their victims amusing in a few ways.  Highlights:

Two men who forced their way into an apartment and demanded cash on Wednesday apologized to the family as they were leaving, saying they had targeted the wrong residence.

…

“It seems they were searching for something,” Alameda police Lt. Art Fuentes said Thursday, noting the lengthy time the men spent in the apartment. “But whatever it was, they couldn’t find it.”

The robbers ordered the husband and wife, along with their 5-year-old daughter, to wait in a bedroom during the search. No one was hurt, police said.
