So a vegetable on a bike got away with the lettuce?


APB for Hispanic male on chromed out low rider bicycle. Good luck with that one.


Apples, peaches, pears, and plums …


Aw heck … Hand over the CASH !


This is so low down…nasty and awful!, hardworking people grew those fruits and veggies, hardworking man working there to earn a living….for shame this robber.


Armed robbery is no walk in the park either. He had to carry a gun, cash and an extra cell phone while peddling zone speed low rider bike at a rapid rate. Take pity on this poor minority.


To paraphrase Willie Sutton:


Whay do you rob fruit stands ? “Because that’s where the honeydew melons is !”


A ride by fruiting!


not funny, but funny
