14) Armed robber attacked with trays
    Ananova [UK]

"An armed robber has fled from a McDonald's restaurant empty-handed
after a pensioner attacked him with plastic trays. The man left the
take-away in Bloomington, Illinois, after he was set upon by 71-year-
old customer Donald Sacry. ... Mr Sacry said the man said nothing and
seemed to be surprised that an older man was hitting him with plastic
trays. 'He was fooling around with a bad biker,' said Mr Sacry."
