HAHAHAHAHAHA.

That is too funny!

Just like my grandma. She used to carry a crow bar behind her seat in her car. Just in case.  

Wow! Gutsy alright!

What a cool lady. Now that's the kind of old lady that it would be fun to spend the day with!

Yeah, of course they showed the cops admonishing her for it, telling her she could have been hurt, but you could tell the cops really admired her for it.

Reminds me of that movie with Stallone and his mother - she comes to visit and catches all the bad guys!

Wooooooooooohoooooooooo!!  love these kind of stories AND the women that are brave like this!!

I hadn't thought of that. Maybe it's her favorite movie?

Me too.

You're welcome.

That lady is a saint!  Foolish, but a saint!

Agreed. Lucky for her the thief was a wimp.

hahahahah this is sooooooo me!! Really it is, and I plan on still running in my 70's.

I was attacked and fought back in 97. I also was robbed in Boston on the T by a big black guy who very cleverly lifted my wallet out of my pocketbook. I looked down and saw my pocketbook zipper opened and knew what happened. Just as this man was going down the stairs to exit the T with my wallet in his hands, trying to hide it under a scarf, I grabbed it from him and said in a very loud voice...."That's mine, thank you very much." He slid into the night and the door closed. My mother in law almost fell off her seat aghast at what I just did. She couldn't believe what just happened. I think she would have just let him have it not willing to risk anything.

No one is going to take my kid's baby pictures and get away with it.

Good for you. More people need to stand up for themselves instead of waiting for someone else to do it for them.
