Here's the scene:A group of friends is finishing a dinner on the back patio of their home. A hooded man slides into the yard and points a gun at the head of a 14-year-old girl.
"Give me your money, or I'll start shooting," he says.
Everyone freezes, including the girl's parents. Then one guest speaks. "We were just finishing dinner. Why don't you have a glass of wine with us?"
The intruder has a sip of their Chateau Malescot St-Exupery and says, "Damn, that's good wine."
The girl's father tells the intruder to take the whole glass, another offers him the whole bottle.
The robber, with his hood down, takes another sip and a bite of Camembert cheese. He puts the gun in his sweatpants.
"I think I may have come to the wrong house," he says before apologizing. "Can I get a hug?"
One guest stands up and wraps her arms around the armed man. The four other guests follow.
"Can we have a group hug?" the man asks. The five adults comply.
The man walks away a few moments later with the crystal wine glass in hand. Nothing was stolen, and no one was hurt.
Sounds like a great movie scene, huh? Except that it actually happened........
