  BERLIN (Reuters) - German police are hunting three bandits who held up a self-service strawberry farm with a pistol and a knife -- for a five-pound basket of strawberries.
  

  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Germany's AZ newspaper reported on Wednesday that the three men filled their basket with strawberries at a "pick-your-own" farm in the southern town of Taufkirchen near Munich.
  

  
  

  When the farm saleswoman approached the men in the field to take their money, they drew their weapons. She fled while the thieves escaped in their nearby car.
