Should i phone the police?

My family and my self were in Church this morning
and my kids laid a 20 pound note on the collection tray.
As we were leaving we saw an old grandmother(about 80)
taking all the money,putting it in her handbag and walking down the street with her zimmer frame,!!!!

I WOULD TALK TO THE CHURCH AND POLICE.

tell the church and let them decide

Don`t you watch crimewatch? this "old lady" is in fact a young
scumbag who impersonates old people in order to perpetrate
the crimes of which you speak, phone police immediately with full description, ( reward availiable)

No, it would be a shame for her to finish her days off in clink. Just dish out a good kicking to her and confiscate her zimmer and watch her crawl to the A+E department.

what is a zimmer frame? Tell the pastor what you saw and let him decide what to do...and pray for her to learn the error of her ways...perhaps the pastor could counsel her if she needs help with money or food..

Would that be the same old blind grandmother that gave you the £20 quid before you got to church. You know the one, the one you helped cross the road. ! ! ! ! ! LOL. Ha.ha. I've just looked at your previous question.

next time give the money straight to her, in front of the vicar, and say in a loud voice
" as you took the last one i put on the collection plate, i thought i would save you the trouble of nicking this one."

probably the zimmerframe was due for an m.o.t. and the old girl could not afford to pay.

Didn't learn anything in the Easter Sermon...

you should tell the police, it is stealing, but i doubt they'll believe you.

Talk to your priest and ask whether he knows her. She could have dementia and not know what she is doing. Or maybe she is sick of being a poor OAP and decided that the world owes her - well its for the poor box isnt it?

If she is just taking advantage go to the police- maybe a ticking off will help and she shouldnt get fair treatment just for being old - sometimes old people take the p*ss because they think no one will say anything to them.

Good luck

Talk to the church, chances are she is a regular at the church and they can discreetly ask for it back next time she is there, no fuss or muss. If the old dear refuses then call the police.
Chances are it was an honest mistake, no need to get the authorities involved just yet.

Turn the other cheek my god bothering friend. And if you can't, then next time pick her up by her ankles and shake her until all the cash, boiled sweets and used tissues fall out of her handbag and pockets.

I would tell the leaders of the church and let them deal with it maybe there was a reason for it like maybe the poor old lady is senile or just so poor she couldnt help it it is not for you to judge he that is for the lord to do

Go to the priest. Tell them what you saw and ask them if they want to call the police. Leave it up to the priest at the church to decide. Tell them who it was.


futurehero5200
lol, definetly call the cops, that would make for a

funny blotter report ;-)

I don't think you should phone the police, but you should tell either the priest or the nuns or whoever is in charge of running the church. Describe her to them and make sure they discover who it was and have a word with her.

We have a zimmer-man here (not a light comment) robert, to be exact. He says "they stone you when you go to church".

Tell the rector, and explain to your kids the gift of easter.

Feel good about helping those who help themselves.

Personally I would have spoken to her, right on the spot and offered another few lbs. In a loud tone.

The police have her on camera, anyway if it's in the UK. They have cameras every 50'.
