It's wrong to encourage crime, right?

I read this story on the BBC and it made me laugh out loud, which is wrong isn't it? I mean crime is bad but somehow...

'Old woman' holds up post office

Police are hunting a woman in her 60s who held up a post office in Manchester.

The woman, believed to be aged between 65 and 70, entered the shop on Palatine Road in Northenden, on Thursday morning.

She was armed with a knife and threatened the cashier demanding money.

Staff activated the alarm and the woman fled empty-handed. She is described as white, about 5ft 2in tall, with dark hair and a purple coat.

Hey, who can blame her? According to my grandmother, trying to survive on a pension isn't fun. And now I'm imagining Grandma holding up the town bank office. Oh, the hilarity!

I love the description of her. You just know the purple coat was a little old lady woolen coat. In fact it should have been plaid.
