One evening, an elderly woman was out walking her dog when a young man darted up, grabbed her purse, and bolted.

A couple nearby rushed over, concerned, and said they’d called the police, who would be there soon.

With a twinkle in her eye, the elderly woman grinned and explained, “Oh, that old purse? It’s just my dog’s poop bag! I carry it around until I can toss it at home.”

You could practically hear the collective gasp of the couple as they imagined the thief’s shock when he opens the purse to find a treasure trove of doggie doo instead of cash! Talk about a stinky surprise!

As the couple chuckled, they couldn’t help but feel a little bad for the thief—who knew that taking a purse could lead to such a “crappy” fate? They all shared a good laugh while waiting for the police to arrive.
