<a href=http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,139552,00.html>Elderly Pair Sends Purse Snatcher to Hospital</a>

OSLO, Norway (AP) — A purse snatcher in a small Norwegian town picked the wrong 88-year-old woman to rob, since she was with a tough younger man at the time.

And her 78-year-old friend ended up sending the thief to the hospital, and then to jail last week, the local newspaper Moss Avisen reported last Friday.

The report said the thief was on a bicycle when he snatched the purse in Raade, a small town about 30 miles south of Oslo.

The 78-year-old man reacted instantly, grabbing hold of the purse and struggling with the 30-year-old thief.

During the struggle, the senior citizen dragged the young man off his bike and onto the asphalt.

The stunned thief got up — bleeding profusely from a cut on his head — and staggered off, still clutching the woman's wallet which he had pulled from the purse.

Police quickly located him and took him to a hospital, where he needed seven stitches.

The suspect was detained pending indictment on the purse snatching, police said.

Neither the woman, her defender or the would-be purse snatcher were identified.
 
Meh, not really. Some elders are fighters, some aren't.
 
True, I remember reading once (in an OLLLLLLD magizine back in gradeschool that some teacher had in the class) about some WW2 vet that was retired, but worked as a crossing guard for a elementry school (for the euros, he basicly makes sure the brats dont run infront of a car)
Some perv tried to kidnap a little girl, and he pulled his pocket knife and hit the pervs jugular from 20 yards, so yeah, old farts can still fight back
 
Oo... want to have such a guy as (for? damm it, English prepositions suck!) grandfather... could teach me a lot :)

er...Sniper, @title: my English teacher would have killed me for that "s"
 
Well, what do you know? Maybe there are old peoples as well. I heard Europe being called the old continent, so Russians, Germans and French could easily be called old peoples =P
 
A pentioner in his 80s in eastern Russia killed a home invader with a home grown zuchini a little while ago. Struck him once in the head and game over.
