Anyone who would victimize the elderly deserves the worst possible punishment, IMO.
Totally agree! My Mom who was then in her eighties got mugged delivering groceries to an ailing friend. They pulled her off a porch. Broke her dentures, her ankle and heel. Canceling credit cards, id protection etc was a nightmare. The toads netted about five bucks in cash for all that havoc.
I guess I am getting up there and frankly no longer carry a purse at all. Word on the street is Jefferson is now a hot spot for crime. I do a lot of my shopping on Jefferson so I am extra vigilant now.I almost never shop alone. I am not fearful, just careful.
Somebody has to know who did this. :mad:
Totally agree! During the time they lived in their Rosedale Park home, my grandparents were robbed three times. In two of those cases, they were either home or just arriving home and were greeted by the robbers. In both of those cases, they were locked in the halfway closet while the house was searched. Despite the losses, we considered them lucky - it could have gone much, much worse.
To their credit, my grandparents refused to leave their home and remained living there until their deaths.
Leapfrog, I am so sorry for your grand folk. I also honor them for refusing to leave.
Home is where the heart is. We made sure my Mom died in her own Detroit home with the help of Hospice. Damn shame thugs try for cheap robberies and many people do leave. My prayers on Tottenfest.
