Grandma Robs US Bank
Is it just me or is Roseville full of the most random crimminals ever? First there was the Golf-Ball Thief earlier this year, and now we have little old ladies robbing banks. Normally, I’m as conservative and hard ass as they come, but this just screams to the world that our elderly community isn’t being as well-cared for as it should be. I mean really how many little old ladies do you know that rob banks?
When I saw her picture it made me think of my own grandmother who doesn’t yet qualify for her social security benefits because she’s only sixty-four. She also very unhealthy and has to take a plethora of medications just to avoid having more strokes. Due to these stroeks, she is blind in one eye and colorblind in the other. However, there aren’t many options to help her out with the medications that she needs just to live. One of her pills is $100 for just one pill!! She is so poor that she and her husband can’t even buy each other Christmas gifts this year. They’re basically lucky to just scrape by enough to keep on living.
You just know that the poor woman who robbed that bank did it because she is in a similar situation. Witneses even said that she was shaking and it looked like she was debating whether to do it or not. In my opinion, she doesn’t sound at all like a career criminal. It sounds like she is just a desperate woman in a desperate situation. However, if you’re enough of a scrooge to give her up, police are asking that “Anyone with information about the robbery can call the FBI in Sacramento at (916) 481-9110, the Sacramento Sheriff’s Department at (916) 874-5115, Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP, or the Roseville Police Department at (916) 774-5000.” Frankly, I hope she gets away with it…
