Elderly woman robs shopper at gunpoint in Kohl's parking lot
http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-elderly-robbery-suspect,0,7166919.story

The story says she's 80, but I don't know how they can tell her age exactly when they haven't caught her yet...

FONTANA (KTLA) -- Fontana police are searching for an 80-year-old woman accused of robbing a shopper at a local department store Sunday.

The victim claims she was at the Kohl's at 14960 Summit Avenue around 11 p.m. Sunday when she was approached by the elderly suspect.

As she walked to her car, the suspect came at her with a gun and demanded her purse.

She then drove away in a black sedan, possibly a Dodge Neon, police said.

9. I'm still angry from when Part B kicked in and I saw seniors actually
crying at the pharmacy on several occasions.

Erie, PA has had several senior bank/convenience store robberies in the last few years. Absolutely heart-breaking...

7. Unlikely; this happened at Kohl's, not Neiman-Marcus
Being old doesn't make someone decent, honest or respectable.

12. Ask anyone who works low-end retail...
There are some older women out there who are career petty criminals, and bad pieces of business.
