also several cases of cheese and a dozen more therapists.
I was going to post this in S&T but was afraid it would not get the attention it deserves.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Police on Capitol Hill are baffled by an attempted robbery that began with a handgun put to the head of a 14-year-old girl and ended in a group hug.
It started around midnight on June 16 when a group of friends was finishing dinner on the patio of a District of Columbia home, authorities and witnesses said. That's when a hooded man slid through an open gate and pointed a handgun at the girl's head.
The intruder had a sip of their Chateau Malescot St-Exupery and said, ''Damn, that's good wine.''
The girl's father, Michael Rabdau, 51, told him to take the whole glass, and Rowan offered him the bottle. The would-be robber, with his hood down, took another sip and a bite of Camembert cheese and put the gun in his sweatpants.
Then the story got even more bizarre.
The man with the gun apologized, the witnesses told the Post.
''I think I may have come to the wrong house,'' he said. ''Can I get a hug?''
Rowan stood up and wrapped her arms around the man and the four other guests followed.
