I laughed so much when i saw this on the news last night. Its not even as though she was walking past the jewelers. She actually runs from away up the road LMAO! And the reaction from the robbers was priceless. Well done that lady.

Funny how no one seemed to dare to get involved, until she did.

In this day & age, she will probably get charged with assault - that's why people don't get involved
