I'm not telling anyone how to live their life.  But this guy might want to pursue some more grown-up hobbies.  And maybe look into getting one of those things called a JOB . . .

32-year-old Vincent Chacon wanted a $200 skateboard from a store in Salt Lake City . . . but his MOM wouldn't give him the money for it.

So last Friday he put on a ski mask and ROBBED the place.

An assistant manager tried to stop him, but they let go of the board when he reached into his pocket and claimed he had a gun.

He turned himself in the next day.  He's facing a felony charge for aggravated robbery.
