A 52-year-old man recently broke into a house in Palm Coast, Florida, armed with a pipe. He then threatened the residents with it, demanding that they turn over their Xbox 360 lest they face the wrath of his improvised weapon.
Apparently, 52-year-old men armed with pipes aren't very scary, and Allen M Crosswell was forced out of the house by how own victims, who locked the door and called the police. Crosswell was arrested soon after, charged with armed home invasion and aggravated assault. He's being held on $10,000 bail.
Going to all that trouble just for an Xbox 360, and then not even successfully stealing it despite being the one with the weapon. Crosswell is today's crowned King of Fail.

Sure, if it was something of some value, i can understand trying to steal it, but the cheapest games console money can buy? Really?
jeez dude. Get a job, or a pension or something.
Also....52 years old!
@ Sexualchocolate - Or even just claim benefits!
He really should have tried that with a PS3 owner. The typically sheltered and somewhat effeminate Sony fanboy would've been found balled up in a fetal position and crying "OHHHH MAH CONSOLE, ITS BEEN STOLAN"
I like this game. It's fun. lol XD
Hahahahhahahahaha.
I would appreciate it! What's that about New for Old replacement?
Slim please, thank you!
@ThemightyLeBeau - damn right, it's a sticking point of mine, something that grinds my gears, that everyone I know on benefits has a 360. Just, if you come to the rest of the Country hands out moaning about not being able to feed your kids, you really shouldn't be given enough money to live in a house with 3 HD TV's and 3 Xbox 360s, but apparently that's what our country considers a basic standard of living.
go figure.
He should have go to the Microsoft Conference, he would get a Xbox for freee !!! But he would need to be a journalist to be bias xD!
True, but he might have killed some headcrabs that they had in their vents.
