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 g
ot 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 dr...iver’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.
The moral of the story?
If you’re going to have a senior moment… make it memorable.
