He almost got away with it too!
"Just when you think you have seen it all, this guy takes carrying a concealed weapon to a whole new level," wrote the Florida sheriff who posted this video of a man stuffing a crossbow down his pants. pic.twitter.com/DBHWS1FiX3

A suspect has been arrested for allegedly stealing a crossbow by stuffing it down his trousers in Florida.
Sky news reports:
The 46-year-old can be seen walking into the shop with a crutch - before taking a pair of cutting tools and removing the security tag on a Ravin Rio crossbow.
Darren Durrant was shown on CCTV making his way out of the the True Value Store with the large weapon down his jeans on 2 February.
Durrant was seen walking with the crutch on his way out of the shop, possibly in an attempt to hide the sizeable crossbow and pass off any odd looking bulges as a physical disability.
Amazingly he made it out of the shop, but was arrested a few days later in the car park of a nearby store.
