The Judge Gave You 500 Quid for What???

It appears that a man held up a bookie with pretending that a "rabbit" vibrator was a handgun.

One of the bookie's customers (they are legal in the UK), Wayne Vakani, followed the man out, and managed to secure enough information, a hat from which the police drew DNA evidence, that the police were able to nab the perp.

The judge awarded Mr. Vakani £500 for his bravery.

I do understand that his actions were actually brave, he didn't know it was not a gun, but I can imagine the ribbing that he is going to get from his buddies, something like, "Drinks on you mate, you've got the cash after standing up to a phony pickle wielding maniac."

He'll never hear the end of it.
