An elderly Californian lady did her shopping and when returning to her car, found 4 males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at them at the top of her voice, "I've gotta gun and I know how to use it! Get out of the car, you scum bags!"

The 4 men didn't wait for a second invitation, so got out and ran like the devil, whereupon the lady, somewhat shaken, proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and get into the driver's seat.

She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried and then it dawned on her why. A few minutes later she found her own car parked 3 spaces farther down.

She loaded her bags into her car and drove to the police station. The sergeant to whom she told the story nearly tore himself in two with laughter, and pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale white males were reporting a car-jacking by a crazy pensioner described as white, less than 5' tall, glasses, and white wispy hair, carrying a large handgun.

No charges were filed.
