You've got to have either a very mighty and insatiable sweet tooth or just a black heart to rob a candy a store where kids will scrap and save every last dime they have in order to purchase something sticky and sweet.

Call this a reaction to the desperate times our economy presents us or just plain pathetic, but some thugs robbed the luxe Dylan's Candy Bar in Manhattan at gun point last week, walking away with $7,000 after cleaning out all of the cash registers.

No arrests have been made, so watch out kids. We suggest you munch on granola bars until the purps are caught. Le sigh.
