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
shoping 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!
