You long term readers have probably noticed by now that I love a good underdog story, especially when the underdog is elderly. This time the would be victim was an 86 year old woman in England who had just withdrew a sizable amount of cash from an ATM. She then went into a grocery store where a younger woman grabbed her shopping cart and demanded the money. The quick thinking 86 year old looked around for a weapon finding a package of bacon close by (must have been a 3lb. package) and began repeatedly bashing the robber over the head with it. The younger woman realized she had misjudged her "easy" mark and quickly made her way out of the store. It wasn't mentioned if the robber woman had been found.The 86 year old woman was a little shaken up but otherwise fine. Let this be a lesson to any would be robbers of the elderly out there,they might not be in their prime anymore but that doesn't mean they are going to lay down and take crap from any lowlifes!
