Customers. walked back up to my front desk and i noticed kind of like last minute two people were walking in with shirts with like masks on. >> the two masked men entered the store and begin yelling at devon but he completely ignores them. >> i figured they were joking with me because some people joke like that so they hit the mouse out of my hand. that kind of stepped over the line. >> uneasy with the situation, devon moves toward the stores panic button, which will signal police, and he hits i...

It happened. once they hit devon we all kind of figured, okay. something is happening. we got, kind of have to do something. once he hit me, my glasses flew off. i was pretty much distracted. then the other guy was still kind of in my face. >> shaken, devon continues to go for the panic button when suddenly one of the robbers hits him again. >> when they hit me the second time thats when somebody grabbed my cell phone, stole that, and then one of the guys goes and sees money on the counter. it w...

Counter. >> im trying to find the button. i got so nervous i cant even find the button. >> the intruder checks the door for signs anyone is coming. when he returns, shes still stumbling at the register. she finally reaches the panic button, but then the man turns away a second time, and the 46" 90-pound woman strikes back. she quickly grabs an ax from behind the counter and starts swinging. the would-be robber, clearly stunned by the brazen store clerk, runs for his life. but she isnt through wi...

>> well, th on the only good thing i see is that the people actually who jump in, werent there to egg them on. they really came in to end this. >> really did want to end this between the teacher and student. again, i cannot believe a teacher would do that. that a student would do that to her teacher. >> two to tango. >> in high school i was afraid of my teachers. no way i would go up to a teacher like that. >> even if the teacher is wrong -- its almost like a cop, i guess. just walk away. right ...

Looked the way i looked. i dont look substantially different other than i didnt have any white hair then. and, you know, i had my berkley college tie-dye on. i did have the gardener security shirt on, but it was over my tie dye and i said okay, i know how this looks. it looks like i put these guard clothes on over my street clothes. >> here, rick makes another grave mistake. he steps away from the security desk and away from the panic button. his only way to contact the outside world. his only w...

Different other than i didnt have any white hair then. and, you know, i had my berkley college of music tie-dye on. i did have the gardner security shirt on, but it was over my tie dye, and it was unbuttoned, and i said, okay, i know how this looks. it looks like i put these guard clothes on over my street clothes. >> here, rick makes another grave mistake. he steps away from the security desk and away from the panic button. his only way to contact the outside world. his only way to prevent what...

Outside world. a panic button at the security desk. but it wasnt so easy to reach. >> you know, those things like a panic button at a bank. it was up on the underside of the desk. but it was a fairly long desk and the computer was all the way over to the left and it was almost all the way over to the right. so it wasnt just within arms reach. >> reporter: still, rick abbot never found any reason to use that panic button. that is until the night of march 18th. that night was unusual from the mome...

After they were done. that was my -- maybe because i was right across from the boiler. but my predominant fear was god, i hope they dont burn the place. >> reporter: he couldnt see. couldnt hear. and he had no idea what was happening upstairs. all that he knew was that his museum was unguarded and about to be robbed. it all happened so fast, he never had a chance to hit the one panic button by the guard desk. he knew no one was coming to help. did the thieves know that as well? it appears they...

Just two night watchmen, one panic button, motion detectors that could be dodged and one security camera outside. did the thieves have help from inside? would they have been able to pull it off without inside information? suspicion still surrounds the men on guard that night. night watchman rick abbot said while he doesnt know of anyone in the museum who would have knowingly tipped the criminals to the laxed security set-up, he admits it was a topic he and other guards spoke about often. >> we t...
