Man tries to rob store with fake gun | Fox10tv.com: "BAY MINETTE, Ala. - Investigators say a suspected armed robber's motive was real, but his weapon was a fake.

Jay Patel says he was checking out customers when a would-be robber came inside his Bee Gee's convenience store. Since it was the weekend, traffic inside was pretty steady.

Security cameras caught the man coming inside the store. Patel says he appeared to be a normal customer. The man went to the back and got a soft drink from the cooler. When he made his way to the counter, he shoved a customer out the way, pulled out his gun and demanded money."
