From Sarasota Police files

This is the true recorded account in the Police Log of Sarasota, Florida.

An old lady did her shopping and on returning to her car found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle.

She dropped her shopping bags, drew her handgun, and proceeded 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 jumped out and ran like mad.

The lady - somewhat shaken - loaded her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driving 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 cases of beer on the front seat!

A few minutes later she found her own car parked a few spaces further down the aisle.

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 carjacking by a mad elderly woman, described as white, less than five feet tall with glasses, white curly hair and carrying a large handgun.

No charges were filed.

So... if you're going to have a senior moment make it a memorable one!
