SOUTH SALT LAKE, Utah A 75-year-old woman ran after a man who stole her purse, got it back and gave him a tongue-lashing and $3.
Betty Horton said the man apologized to her and said he was broke.
"I said, 'Why didn't you just ask me for some change? I would have helped you. I would have gladly given it to you,'" Horton said.
-----------------------------
Horton said she put money in his hand and told him, "Now get the heck out of here." Police arrived, but the thief whom authorities described as a 40-year-old man was gone.
"Seventy-five years old and I can still take care of myself," Horton said.
