Thu Sep 11, 2003 2:17 PM ET
MISHAWAKA, Ind. - Two would-be robbers left an Indiana convenience store empty-handed after getting into an argument about the contents of a note they handed to the clerk.
The two men entered the 7-Eleven store in Mishawaka, just east of South Bend, early Tuesday morning.
They left the store and came back a few minutes later. One of them handed the clerk a note saying, in part, 'put it in the bag.'
When the clerk said she didn't understand what that meant, the man who handed her the note said he didn't know either because his buddy wrote it.
The two men began to argue and left the store. They are still at large."

Both seemingly far-fetched scenarios are possible under a federal program that supplies surplus military equipment to local law-enforcement agencies."
