Pretty sure we've talked about stuff like this before..............how all the awful things we did, but never purposely out and out hurt a person.........physically or anything............and some of us plotted and schemed, but never, ever went right up and robbed a person outright.
My mom got robbed............not mugged thankfully...........they must have watched her come out of the bank.........she was amazingly calm........BUT they took her bank statement as well so she had to walk back to her bank from the store she got robbed in............to make sure no information was on the statement..........and she walked home.
Well, after she done got robbed she told the women at the store they better have some security cameras.............."Cause they robbed the wrong person".......she says this............and amazingly they take her back and allow her to see the video.............interesting every part of the store has survelience except the part she got robbed at..........so on the advice of one in the know I called the cops............they came out to take a report.
Cop then asks her name and age and all................he goes "You're 69?"....my mom looks much younger.............she says yes............cops says "Oh, no, no I'm ON IT"............so he went over to the store...........he's getting the tape.
My mom said she is almost 100% sure who it was............and I did tell the cop let me see the footage cause I'll be over that malle very single day waiting on that chick.................and he cracked up...........and my mom says "She's serious"...................and the cops says "I KNOW that's why I am laughing".
Go robbing old people..............that ain't right..........and of course my one brother is all over me why didn't I go with her..............why don't she use plastic.........why this and that.................I told him "You come stay here for three days, Bro and then YOU tell ME".
The elderly want their independence..................and they do not wanna use plastic............so all us addicts...............got to say amen I never hurt an elderly person or stole their money..............on the contrary I am the only human being helped an elderly lady who was mugged.......this was years ago.......and actually I was waiting on a bus.................probably going to cop........and this dude not only took her pocketbook..............poor, poor lady he broe her nose and busted her arm and ribs...............I was screaming for help..................banging on doors for someone to call the cops.........and that nice, nice lady was so worried her daughter would find out she was going to the store.
WHAT? You should be able to go to the store anytime ya want........that nice lady got my name from the cops as I gave them my name as a witness..........and she sent me cards all the time............I was her angel and she wouldn't have known what to do without me...........I kept HER CALM!
Pfffffffffffftttttttttttt, me calm? LOL She was actually making me laugh asking "How's my schnozz kid?"............my mom though THANK GOD they could have followed her and beat her senseless and with that coumadin she takes the bleeding wouldn't have stopped.................so she said "It's only money and I wasn't hurt".
Oh, life it just keeps going, right?
How does anyone do such things? Can't get my head around it. A couple of months ago there was a rather severe beating of an old woman - and I do mean old, like 90 - caught on tape and run on the evening news. Can't remeber if it wasa local or national story, but there's this young dude, maybe 20-24 comes up to this woman and tries to take her purse, but it doesn't go quite the way he wants it to and he ends up knocking this poor old soul to the ground and giving her a stomping. I watched it on the news with my daughter and she was horrified. What a world...what a world.
Bryn, I'm so sorry for your Mum. Robbing the elderly? well, that is well out of order. The peron who done it will get what is coming to her!! Is your Mum ok ?Are you OK? the past week has not been the best, eh? The 2 of you take it easy, Kev
In the local paper today it has a story of an 83 year old great grand-father rom Glasgow who whilst leaving church after doing his lenten prayers was robbed after the robber told him, " you'll get hurt" if he didn't comply. I've lied, stole, cheated and lied some more, but i couldn't bring myself to rob an elderly person. Why is it that drugs make some people do things like that???

That is just awful Bryn! I hate that younger people don't respect their elders and choose to take advantage of them. It's sad.
I relate so much bc you know my stepdaughter nabbed over $16,000 from my MIL in about 18 months. I don't think I will ever get over that one. I hate to say it, but I am glad that my MIL passed away so that Jana can no longer take advantage of her.

I'm so glad your mom was not hurt and she stayed calm. The money is just that money.I hope the person who robed her is caught in a dark ally by you and your brother "smile". Your mom's a tough bird glad this did not get her too rattled. My mom or grandmother would have freaked out!.
Bryn, what a terrible thing to happen to your Mom. I'm so glad she wan't hurt, and that she isn't going to let this get her down.
I have to laugh at you calling her "elderly". don't ya know that 69 is the new 59????
If she is elderly, my Gosh, I am down right decrepit!!
As long as she keeps her fighting spirit, which it seems you have inherited, she will be just fine for a long long time.

Thanks everyone for the kindness shown to my mom.
Nope, she was calm as anything and she used to be a nerve job......ready what she says? If I had LOST it I'd have been freaking out...........but because someone took it from me I'm MAD...........no time for hysterics when you're seeking revenge...........she's a Scorpio and that's all I'm saying because I know Janet and GYAC are as well............oh the will up the road get ya. LOL
Anyway, I went over and picked up the police report today.........here working the window is an old friend of mine.........she used to do something else before she was a cop and I know her through my daughter.........I tell her why I'm there, and she freaks.......YOUR MOM?????????? Oh no! People love my mom as she is very kind and a real charachter..........so this chick was furious........checked out the report, and said "Yep our guy was over there and looked at the tapes, and we've put in a request for them so just hold tight, O.K.?".............she couldn't out and out tell me, but pretty sure it's the same young girl stabbed an elderly woman from the neighborhood for her purse, and held someone up with a knife.............a business...........sure enough she's out of jail...........I got that from the straight up grapevine.
Guess what I hope I get her before the cops..........I'll find out who she is through the hood, and oh I so will track her down.........just to be nice to her of course............I'm no vigilante..........ya know? Rob my mother, No way!
Kev, isn't that awful that poor man.............and ya know Sunday mornings is a prime time that happens as they know the elderly are going to church with a few dollars...............or have some coming home to go shopping and what not.
Most important is the chick could have followed my mom home and beat her down in the street so yepper she was fortunate..........she's mad though!
Thank you again everyone..........poor elderly folks, and Rita you ain't a day over 29 now come on!........I should have said "SENIORS"!

Well, you're a better person than I am then, I'd give her a beating she'd not soon forget. Or maybe send one of my dad's old leg-breakers out to put a hurt on her, instill a little fear - tough to rob people with broken or missing fingers. Nope, I'm definitely not above such behavior, sorry to say. Forgot to mention how glad I am your mom walked away, Bry. She sounds like a tough one, she does. You two ladies take good care of each other.

That's a horrible& frightening thing thing to happen to anyone,especially the old & people who are more helpless than others.
I certainly wasn't an angel in the throws of my savage heroin addiction, but robbing people of any age ,wasnt my shot.
Thankfully she didnt get hurt - sounds like she has the tough Philly girl genes
(& passed them to you)
Hope you are feeling better since your last rant
If not> rant away!!!!!!!
love&respect

And you are gonna have a sit down chat, as ifyou want company I will come chat tooYou know where I am from they cut your fingers off when you steal
You be a good girl okIf they know who she is they will get her A good friend of mine used to do robbery detail in center city, he said it was very hard to not really hurt some of those who went after the older folks. And they dont even care, there is no remorse for how bad they hurt someone who could easily be their grandparent.To sad what happens anymore in this world
Think of you and mom,
Love,
Tina
