89-Year-Old Woman Refuses To Give Back Football

In a story straight from the stereotype news generator, 89-year-old Edna Jester is facing theft charges because she refuses to give a child back a football that ended up in her yard. Police say there had been an ongoing dispute over the football and a child's parent called to report that Jester kept the ball after it landed in her yard again. "I'm 89 years old and I want a little peace of mind," Jester said. "This is my life here in this chair, looking out that door, and all I see is playing the ball down and all over and all over. If it doesn't come in my yard, OK, but if it comes in my yard, I'm going to get it. No trespassing."

Not theft

How can they charge her with theft? It was put into her yard multiple times, it belongs to her. End of story. I heard this on the radio the other day, and I couldn't believe that the cops didn't just laugh at the idiot who phoned it in. If my kids kept tossing their ball into somebody's yard, and the person didn't give the ball back, I'd tell them that they should have been more careful.

Get over yourself. Kids lack control and finesse to be able to throw and or kick a ball where they want it to go 100% of the time. Ever try to catch a bad throw or a kick, and have it bounce off of you? That is, unless you never went outdoors as a kid. Then I can understand how you'd forget these things. They're kids. It's what they do. Stealing their toys only creates unnecessary tension in the neighbor. Just because you're old doesn't mean you have to be a cranky cunt either.
