I for one definitely underestimate the old timers. If you survived the bombing of Berlin, a mugger with a pocketknife isn't so scary.

If she was carrying $1500., it wasn't a lucky guess he either followed her from the bank or she was fingered. Start with the bank cameras and then the local creeps.

South Harlem is still dangerous, I see.

With tough cookies like her, how we ever beat Germany in that war is beyond me.

Was she not afraid, or not scared? One more reason to allow senior citizens to pack semi-auto weapons.

Wow, the one old lady the mugger decides to rob and she's got $1500 in her purse.

She reminds me of the Black Night in 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail.' Although I wouldn't recommend her course of action to others, she sure has balls... or something equivalent to them.
