Gunman robs Diamond Bar store
DIAMOND BAR -- A man armed with a handgun robbed a Big Lots Wednesday night of an undisclosed amount.
Sheriff's Sgt. Mark Saldecke said no shots were fired and no one was injured during the 9 p.m. robbery at the store, 1139 S. Diamond Bar Blvd.
He said the robber was waiting outside the manager's office. When she stepped out, Saldecke said the suspect pulled out a gun and forced her back into the office.
The suspect also threatened to hurt her if she didn't take the money from the safe, according to the sergeant.
The man then ran out with the cash. He was described as a Latino, about 45 to 50, with a mustache, between 5 feet 8 inches to 6 feet tall and weighing between 160 to 180 pounds. He wore blue jeans and a denim jacket.

That is well known that cash makes people free. But what to do if one has no money? The one way is to try to get the mortgage loans and just car loan.
