Boy, 12, charged with robbing coffee stand on bike near Seattle:

They sure start them out young in the Land of floating bridges, rain and Pine Trees.

Now I hear through the grape vine that there is a big rift going on in downtown Seattle over a tunnel boring job that was set up haphazardly by some inexperienced city engineers.  There is a dispute between the Operating Engineers and the Longshoremen over a some sort of jurisdiction situation that has the job at a stand still. I may have to take a trip up there to settle Seattle down a little.

Anyway back to the heist of the year; this future John Dillinger on two wheels pulled up his getaway bike to a drive-up  window at one of the coffee huts that Seattle is known for.

Some of the dive-in coffee huts in the area have scantly dressed girls working there that give the local guys a little rise in their Levi’s on their way to work  in the morning. I have been to some of them with an old friend J “The Mink”. It is a very enterprising idea. The ladies  tip jar is always over-flowing.

When the shop owner of Hillbilly Hotties, Jovanna Edge walked over to the drive up window to serve the two wheeled bandit the kid whipped out his piece from his back pack and shoved it in her face. He had his gun hidden under his diapers.

The kid bandit grabbed the tip jar and burned rubber out of the parking lot.

The boy, whose name has not been released because of his age, was later arrested and charged with two counts of robbery after police said he confessed to also robbing a convenience store in the city of Everett, north of Seattle.

The future Dillinger got away with a whopping 15.00, some in bill but mostly in change. He probably went home and put the change in his piggy bank.

Side note: It is told that what really made Dillinger a mean son of a bitch and got him pissed off at the drop of a hat was someone called him Herbert.

We will call the two wheeled kid bandit John Jr.; is no stranger to the life of crime. Since the fuzz arrested him and viewed the footage from some other local heists he has been linked to 2 or 3 more robberies in the Seattle area.

Nothing like getting off to a good early start in life.

Hopefully after his stretch in the “big house” Little John will walk the straight and narrow but I really doubt it.

I wonder if Herbert has any long lost relatives in the detention home that John Jr. is going to.  They could compare notes and start off on bigger heists when they get out, like robbing frozen custard stands.
