AT LEAST DON'T STEAL FROM THIS GUY

A couple of ne'er-do-wells decided to rob a Chicago priest and soon wish they hadn't:
A tough Chicago priest foiled two would-be robbers who tried to steal money from the church collection box, keeping one of them in a headlock until the cops came.

St. Agnes' Church in the city's West Side had been robbed before, reports WBBM-TV, so video cameras were installed overlooking the collection box.

On Wednesday afternoon, church volunteers saw a man lay out tools and try to break into the box, which was holding about $300.

Father Matt Foley ran in and grabbed the man's tools, but the crook fought back, and the tussle wandered into the street, then a nearby alley.

Said the priest: "No one steals from God."

And what brought these two to the church?
[The] two men who had gotten free meals at the church were arrested.

You like to see that.
