You know times are tough when even Trekkies are forced to set aside their noble post-economic ideals and rob banks with goofy fictional weapons:
Witnesses told police that a man wearing a black mask, black jacket and blue jeans entered the stores carrying a sword described as a “bat’leth.” The armed robber took an undisclosed amount of cash and fled on foot from both stores, police said. Officers searched the area but didn’t find the robber or the weapon
Hey, gotta pay for the con tickets somehow…
