GUMBY THIEF CHARGED WITH BURGLARY

REMEMBER when Gumby tried to rob the 7-ELEVEN, but failed because he couldn't get his gun out of his costume. Video footage here  
Well now he's been charged with burglary - or at least Jacob Kiss, 19, the idiot who wore the costume has. 
His pal Jason Giramma, also 19, who didn't even have the gumption to don a disguise has also been charged. 
They were such bad thieves that when the costumed clown walked into the San Diego convenience store and demanded cash, the clerk thought it was a joke and ignored the life sized Claymation character, he carried on cleaning up.   
Annoyed at being shunned, the furry green bandit allegedly told him: "You don't think this is a robbery? I have a gun."
But after fumbling around in his costume and failing to produce a weapon, after several minutes Gumby gave up and walked out of the store, dropping 26 cents out of his pocket - so his efforts actually cost him money.  
As we reported here Jason Giramma however denied that they were trying to rob the store, claiming they just wanted cigarettes.
But the San Diego DA's office clearly disagreed and charged them with theft.
