The robber dressed up as the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants. "SpongeBob" is robbing a store. According to American media reports on September 8, an absurd robbery occurred in San Diego, California, where a man dressed as the animated character "SpongeBob SquarePants" and entered a 7-11 convenience store to rob it. Initially, the cashier thought it was a prank.

The police of San Diego said that the robbery took place on the evening of the 5th. The on-duty cashier initially thought someone was playing a joke on him. When the man claimed he had a gun and reached inside his costume as if to grab it, the cashier realized the seriousness of the situation. Not long after, the accomplice waiting outside honked the car horn, urging for a quick escape. At this point, the robber in the cumbersome costume suddenly became very nervous, grabbed some loose change, and fled hastily, dropping 27 cents of the "stolen money" on the floor in the process.

Due to the minimal loss, the cashier did not report the incident immediately. Later, the store manager reviewed the surveillance footage and decided to contact the local police. Currently, the police are offering a $1000 reward to encourage informants to provide leads.
