WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE!

The Weiners Circle is a very famous hot dog stand here in Chicago. Must be noted that it is very successful. On a Saturday night, open until 5 am, it takes in lots of money.

It has been in business for over 20 years, so it’s very well known how well it does. One Saturday night the owner Larry [Glicht] was closing and counting the till. It was customary to put the money in a paper bag and take it home with him nightly. Glicht lives directly across the street.

This particular Sat. was very busy and he had to pre-cook the hamburgers to keep up with the pace. At the end of the night he had a few
left over and he decided to take them home AS NOT TO WASTE THEM.

Unknown to Glicht he was being watched this night from the 7-11 kitty corner to the stand. He was being “staked out.” When all was done Glicht locked the doors and started to walk across the street to his apartment.

Much to his surprise, and fears, a big guy stuck a gun in his ribs and asked for the bag of money! Glicht, who is not the smartest guy in the world somehow kept his composure, and said “here is the bag, please don’t hurt me,” and the robber ran off into the night. He knew that he had a bag full of thousands. He must have thought how smart he was.

I wonder how long it took the robber to stop and tear open the bag to count how much he had just gotten away with? He must have been shaking with the nervousness of the robbery and the anticipation of his haul. But guess what? That’s right, Glicht kept his wits about him and gave the robber the bag with the left over burgers! LOL this guy must have gone nuts! Can u imagine planning, stalking, and finally actually carrying out the robbery, only to find a bag of burgers? At least he didn’t go hungry,GOD, I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE!

All my love.
