This May Or May Not Be True, But It’s A Great Story

This story comes from the Democratic Underground.  It can be found at different places on the internet.  Supposedly it comes from a police log in Sarasota, Florida.  I have no idea whether or not it is true–I just think it is a great story.  Unfortunately, as a senior citizen, I can relate.

This is directly from the website listed above:

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 ino the back of her 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 realised why. It was the same reason she had wondered why there was a Frisbee and two 12 packs of beer on 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 th 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.

There is nothing I can add to this!
