This is easily the funniest thing I have seen in the news for a long time.
“Police in Italy have issued footage of a man who is suspected of hypnotising supermarket checkout staff to hand over money from their cash registers.
In every case, the last thing staff reportedly remember is the thief leaning over and saying: "Look into my eyes", before finding the till empty.”

I confess; the first thing I did when I read that last line is check the date to see if it was April the 1st!
