Because the victim was crying

Unsuccessful robber wished “have a nice day”

Only a few robberies end like this. Because the 80-year-old victim had no cash and was crying, the robber was "understanding".

A walk along the Drau cycle path in Villach ended with a real shock for an 80-year-old woman from Villach on Monday afternoon. "Suddenly an unknown male person threatened her," the police report. "He demanded that she hand over the money she had pocketed." But the elderly lady didn't have any with her and began to cry. The man - described as 25-30 years old, a German national, wearing black clothing with a hoodie, white and black shoes - was understanding. "No problem, I wish you a nice day," said the perpetrator and walked on.

The 80-year-old woman immediately went to the Trattengasse police station and reported the incident. "After a manhunt, a suspect was initially apprehended, who was released because he was not a possible perpetrator for the lady," the police continued. "The 80-year-old was not injured by the incident and also refused the emergency services."
