The
Florida Lady Thought She Was Foiling Carjackers-Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor: An elderly lady pulls a gun on four guys she
thinks are trying to steal her car. They flee in terror then she
realizes it wasn't her car! She goes to the police to report her
mistake and the four guys are there reporting an elderly woman who is a
carjacker.
The Truth: This story would be hilarious if true, but we
have not found any evidence that it really happened. Police in
Sarasota, Florida, know nothing of it.
We've not found any documentation of it happening anywhere else.
