Woman arrested after keeping kids' ball

Sounds like it was only one of many times that the football ended up in her yard. Pure speculation of course. Add to that they probably were impolite and just plain rude to her........more speculation. Or perhaps she's just a lonely, crochety old lady. As with everything, one would have to know all the details.....but, somehow I doubt she is a threat to society, but the one who pressed charges may want to watch his back. Someday that younger father [if the Lord is willing] will reach 89 and he may find he isn't the nicest human being any more either. Come to think of it, he probably isn't very nice if he couldn't figure out a way to deal with this without calling the police on her.

She's a real pip. Maybe she needs an attitude adjustment.

We all had a house growing up that also served as the "graveyard" to the street/neighborhood. I had one. So we did what any kids would do: we jumped the fence and got the footballs, etc ourselves. No need for parents or police. Leave it to the government to take what I can do easily and complicate the hell out of it.
