Blubba—Too true ! This a$$hole better hope I never see it happen. Preying on elderly people, I would so kick his / her a$$ in a heartbeat ! If the person who did this is reading this ( doubtful you can read, but in case ) you better hope you can run faster than my car !!!!
I sincerely hope that the police forces in the Valley wake up. This is just the beginning with the Christmas season coming. The crooks need money and are too lazy or stupid to work for it. Oops. I forgot, they probably can’t get a job either.
