Got an emergency phone call on Friday at work from my grannies next door neighbour. She only calls if there is a serious issue so I knew it was worth my time to take the call.
She was with my little old granny. She is 84 and toddles about with a permanent grin attached to her face saying hello to everyone. Everyone loves granny.
It seems on the way home from the shopping centre a young man rushed up from behind her as she pushed her trolley home in the rain. He asked her what she had been 'stealing' today from the shops and stopped her by standing in her way and started to rummage through her shopping. He took something, but at the time granny didn't notice. Well, he had taken her purse and robbed her.
I called the cop-shop and they had two cars there in under 5 minutes, though the little coward piece of shit had long gone of course as it takes gran a looooong time to walk home.
I've calmed down now, but at the time I wanted to go look for the man who did it and repeatedly run him over in the Williams. I'm sure a lowlife like that wouldn't be missed if I had done so.
The Police said this was the worst incident they have had in a long time and the area is mostly crime free. They also are pretty sure granny was targeted and followed and they will have good CCTV footage. It's just lucky she was not harmed, we have that to be thankful for.
Granny is fine and she has already shrugged it off. I guess being through some tough times including WWII makes you thick skinned! I think she liked the attention and being driven about in a Police pursuit car by two hulking young men...and she thoroughly enjoyed giving a statement, which was funny to listen too as she digressed frequently and went on and on about her life, the war, and anything else she could get in.
