A suspected criminal broke into Wham Vintage Store Badalona yesterday armed... with a card and a couple of 20 euro bills. According to witnesses, the salesman shouted "This is an armed robbery!" while filling a bag for the customer with vinyl records, comics and other items. books second-hand valued at less than €50.

The violent situation kept the shopkeeper on edge, and he feared for his safety as he witnessed the unstoppable "robbery" of rock classics and special edition comics. It's unknown whether the thief was wearing gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints, but he was determined to steal real treasures for a loot of €47.80.

This is intolerable, I'm fed up, FED UP, let Albiol come and fix it! And if possible, eeeh... let him record one of his reels, he has a lot of followers...

After the "robbery," the robber hurriedly left the sophisticated and interesting store, leaving behind only the sound of torn cardboard boxes and the echo of a joke too good not to share. Local police haven't confirmed any arrests, but they did express relief: The level of insecurity in Badalona has never been so… affordable.

Look, I'm not racist, but even though the assailant spoke Catalan, he had very tanned skin. Yeah, I'm sure his great-great-great-great-grandparents were Islamic, or something like that. That's very, very unusual here on the Iberian Peninsula. Listen, everyone knows that we Catalans descend from the Elven Vikings of Grífindorl, way back in the Valjala of Aran, on the edge of the flat earth. I read, listen, I know what I'm talking about. I'm a serious bookseller.
