Fort Knox, it ain't

Apparently, it doesn’t take much to dupe the security at Bayern Munich

A very strange burglary story has come out of Bayern Munich overnight after a man reportedly broke into the club’s training facilities.

The German papers are reporting that the thief managed to gain access to the Bundesliga giants’ facilities by pretending to be a player..

The man donned a Bayern baseball cap and held a sports bag with the club’s symbol emblazoned on it, and that was apparently enough to saunter past security at the grounds. After gaining entry, the man allegedly stole personal items belonging to the players.

Police reportedly arrested the man on Tuesday after it was discovered he was not Robben, but in fact, a robber.

There are unconfirmed reports that the man initially tried to gain entry by tapping a security guard on the left shoulder while trying to sneak by on his right side.
