Age doesn’t matter any more they become easy targets sad to say. ladies do not carry money in your purses. I stopped carrying a purse a long time ago. if I can’t fit it in my wallet I don’t carry it.
Sad that a woman would do this to another woman. Especially to an 87 year old woman. Come try it on me!
man or woman cut their hands off, they wont steal anymore,put them in jail and it cost tax payers over 40,000 a year per inmate.
