The Weeping Pizza Thief

Shortly after midnight a man entered a Papa John's in Helena, Montana and demanded money. But as the Papa John's employee started to hand over the man, the robbery went awry. The robber broke down and started crying. He explained that he needed to provide for his wife and child. Helena Police Chief Troy McGee said, "The clerk talked to him for a while and determined that some free pizza, wings, and soda—to go—are what he really needed."

Possible Preaching Angle:

You have to hand it to that Papa John's cashier. Would you like to have someone like that on your church board?
