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!
