Stand and Deliver! Or i'll ketchup?

Reuters is reporting on a story crazier than fiction.
Here in Athens, a supermarket employee on the way to the bank was held up with ketchup by two robbers and robbed of 400 euros.
How desperate does one have to get before attempting such a heist? While i am not fond of ketchup, my fear of the condiment does not extend to handing over my wallet to complete strangers. Now if it was a jar of wasabi, maybe, but ketchup, no way.

Oh and no, the crime was not committed by Spanish group Las Ketchup. They are there just to add more spice to the story!
