Important safety tip; if you’re going to do a crime, don’t call up the victim and ask them for a date.

More [details](http://www.delawareonline.com/newsjournal/local/2005/01/22pizzarobberytur.html) now available; Brown is apparently going for the (Bart) Simpson defense:

> [@](#):
>
> Brown said he lent his cell phone to Moore and his brother and a third person whose name he did not know, and they made the call. He also said he does not believe the deliverywoman picked his photo out of a photo lineup because he said she has never seen him.

> [@Bart Simpson](#):
>
> I didn’t do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can’t prove anything.
