An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, >found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. > >She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to >scream at the top of her lungs, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it! > >Get out of the car!" The four men didn't wait for a second threat. They >got >out and ran like mad. > >The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags >into the back of the car and got 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 she realized why, .. it was for the same reason she had wondered >why there was a football, a Frisbee and two 12 packs of beer in the front >seat. A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five >spaces farther down. > >She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station to >report her mistake. The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't >stop laughing.
