Thief Outpaced By 72-Year-Old Ex-Sprinter
02/13/09 - Amazing
“A teenage thief picked on the wrong victim when she tried to run off with a bag belonging to pensioner Jean Hirst – a former championship sprinter. The schoolgirl was surprised to discover her victim, a former All England Schools championship sprinter, still had a turn of pace – at the age of 72. As Mrs Hirst gave chase, she soon began to close on the culprit who was forced to throw down the bag in her desperation to escape.” w/ photos
