Woman, 79, tried to hold up bank
A 79-year-old woman was arrested in Chicago after she tried to hold up a bank at gunpoint.
She wore a white visor that read "princess" and black sunglasses when she tried to hold up the bank with a toy gun.
The Chicago Sun-Times says she could be the oldest woman ever charged with bank robbery in the city.
An FBI agent's affidavit says she walked into a Bank of America branch and told a female cashier she could not speak very loud because she had just come from the dentist.
When the cashier leaned forward, the woman pulled out what appeared to be a gun and said: "Give me $30,000. My friend is across the street. And no dye."
However, the cashier reached into her drawer and activated a silent alarm before walking away from the counter.
The robber waited a few minutes then walked out of the bank, ditching her trench coat as she left. A bank employee flagged down a police officer who arrested her outside.

That's something you don't hear about every day
Wow, heavy.
Well at 79 my guess is she won't do much jail time.

I'd pay money just to have seen that...
I've always wondered what it would be like to rob a bank. 
Maybe at 79, it would be worth a try!

These stories just seem too far-fetched to be true but ok. I do however wonder what the hell she would do with all that money at her age. Party at granny's?
