This is a true account recorded in the Police Log
of Sarasota, Florida
An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon
returning to her car, found
four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle.
She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun,
proceeding to scream at the
top of her lungs, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it!
Get out of the car!"
The four men didn't wait for a second threat. They got out
and ran like mad.
The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her
shopping bags into the back
of the car and got into the driver's seat. She was so
shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition.
She tried and tried, and then she realized why, it was
for the same reason she
had wondered why there was a football, a Frisbee and two 12
packs of beer in the front seat.
A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or
five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags into the car and drove
to the
police station to report her mistake. The sergeant to whom she told
the story couldn't stop
laughing. He pointed to the
other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a car
jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five
feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun.
No charges were filed. Moral of the story? If you're going to have a
Senior Moment, make it
memorable!> Have a Great Day!
