Okay, so, you're in need of some money, and you're desperate. You've got a gambling problem and the men to whom you owe money are coming after you. What do you do?

If you're a decent person, you'll probably go out and get a job, and give them your paychecks hoping it'll be enough. Or ask someone you love to loan you some cash. If you're more concerned with getting the bookie off your back than the law, you might consider robbing a store somewhere. But it takes a real SoB to walk into the adult toy store his sister works in and rob it while she's working there.

His name'sNathaniel Atkinson and he robbed Dr. John’s Adult Video Store in Nebraska ... while his sister was working the counter. He went in with a mask on and socks over his hands, presumably so she wouldn't be able to identify him, and handed her a note asking for money.

The man pleaded guilty to felony theft and attempted burglary for another incident in May. Sentencing was handed down this week, and he'll spend 16 to 32 months in prison, minus the five months he's already been in jail.

He says he's remorseful, and he's gonna seek help. We wonder what his sister thinks of that. Oh, and how's mom holding up?
