Tired of getting burglarized regularly, a bakery in Split, Croatia, decided to solicit the protection of a certain Hollywood action star. At least in spirit:
The posh bakery shop in Split, Croatia, had often been broken until they put up the poster of the karate champ with a sign saying: "This shop is under the protection of Chuck Norris."
Now the bakery hasn't had a single burglary for more than a month. "People seem to respect him," said a sales assistant.

Update 5/13/09 - Congratulations to chrome who won with this bakery-themed Chuck Norris Fact: the bakers briefly switched the bear claws with "chuck norris claws" how ever the lack of survivors ran down business.

Bakery owner says that in 6 years there were no burglaries, but that they put up Chuck's poster only after someone asked him how come he never had any problems with crime for 6 years since the bakery was opened.
