File this under "only in France."
My name is Inigo Montoya. You took my croissant. Prepare to die.In the last 10 days, a man believed to be in his 40s has robbed five boulangeries, or traditional French bakeries, in the Hauts-de-Seine region west of Paris, according to police. But instead of asking for the contents of the cash register, this thief goes for the buttery baked goods. In every robbery, he uses the same technique: calmly orders a generous helping of croissants, pains au chocolats and a few other viennoiserie, or baked goods. When it comes time to pay, he brandishes what is believed to be a fake gun.
