Bandits Enter Che Lagarto Santiago

The staff at the Che Lagarto hostel that I was staying at in Chile warned all of the guests that they were going to be playing a joke on the husband of one of the owners on Thursday, the day before I left Chile... The joke was going to be an armed robbery but of course they weren´t going to be using real guns... The husband, Adrian, of the owner, Carolina, is an actor and works for a TV program that does hidden camera events... As we were all eating dinner, the 4 bandits with guns came into the dining area and asked who the owner was and then pulled him off of his chair and onto the floor... They kept on asking where the money was and he said that there wasn´t much in the cash box since they had emptied it earlier in the day... They also asked for everyone to put their cell phones, wallets, etc. on the table... It went on for about 15 minutes and I almost started laughing twice so a couple of the bandits had to take me out of the room so that I wouldn´t ruin it... Adrian kept on saying to leave the guests alone!!! After about 15 minutes went by, another group of people entered who appeared to be the police except for the fact that one of them was his wife, Carolina... Hehehe!!! The bandits got all flustered and started shooting their guns and then Adrian started fighting with them and finally he saw his wife and realized that it was a joke and started hugging his wife and then proceeded to hug others... Even though it wasn´t a real robbery, it got to be a bit scary because they were amazing actors and it seemed soooooooooo real!!!!!!!!
