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 voice, "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 invitation 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 it dawned on her why. For the same reason she did not understand why
there was a football, a Frisbee and two 12 packs 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 :)
