An elderly lady was doing her Christmas shopping and upon returning to the crowded parking area where she left her vehicle, spotted four males in the act of leaving with her car.

She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun from her handbag, and proceeded to scream at them at the top of her voice, "I have a gun and I know how to use it! Get out of the car you dirty, rotten scoundrels!"

The four men didn't wait for a second invitation but got out and ran like mad, whereupon the lady, somewhat shaken, proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back seat 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. A few minutes later she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags into her car and drove to the police station.

The sergeant to whom she told the story nearly tore himself in two with laughter and pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale white males were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as "just like my Grandma," about 5' tall, glasses, curly white hair and carrying a large handgun.

The four guys declined to press charges, and requested their names not be revealed.
