Noodle-bar robber pays bill before getaway

Yahoo News gives us this story of a fairly considerate armed robber in Japan.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Police are looking for a robber who held up a noodle bar in
western Japan then paid for his meal and waited for his change before making
off.

The young man ate a bowl of "ramen" noodles and a side order of
fried chicken at a restaurant in the city of Osaka on Wednesday then produced a
knife and forced a waitress to hand over takings of 46,000 yen ($393), the
Sports Nippon newspaper said.

When the woman demanded he pay for his
meal, the robber gave her 1,000 yen and waited for his 100 yen change before
running away, the paper said.
