PENNSYLVANIA: The headline read: Nails of steal.” A few Sundays ago a salon worker painted a man’s nails just before closing time, only to have the customer turn around, hold the workers and gunpoint and demand cash. “It’s pretty nervy to sit in a nail salon and actually get a manicure and then produce a gun and announce a robbery,” said Malachi Jones of the Philadelphia Police Department. The robber is still at large. Police are looking for a suspect with manicured fingernails.
