Grate Expectations
Not quite a copycat crime -- different goal, different weapon -- but hot on the heels of the deeply bizarre story of the guy who tried to poison his wife with Pufferfish toxin comes yet another Chicagoland kitchen crime: a dude in Hammond, IN who tried to hold up a bar... with a cheese grater.
Presumably-amused patrons chased him out of the bar, and he lost the grater while running away. If he needs a replacement grater, may we suggest a aMicroplane? Those blades are scary sharp.
