Guess that was a plan that seemed like a good idea at the time... Didn't even have to bring his own loot bag. Don't think I'd rob a place where there are countless items that are more damaging than a hatchet.

I'll see your hatchet and raise you a machete and a battery powered nail gun.

Another "Hatchet Job' by 'stoooopid' criminal wanabee.

(j/k),Wasn't that they same guy a few years back that tried the same thing with a chainsaw, but upon arriving at the register yelling 'gimmie all your money', then realizing it was an electric chainsaw, he demanded an extension cord.
