A handbag thief in Florida should consider himself lucky he got away with the bag of Ruby Homayssi. If the 64-year-old former Marine had caught up with the purse pincher, the result wouldn’t have been pretty!
“I’m angry. If I had gotten my hands on that young man, I don’t know what I would have done. If I had had this stick, I had gotten him, I’d have beat him to death. I would have been so angry, I wouldn’t have stopped,” Homayssi said.
We’ve heard about some angry women with handbags, but Ruby’s outburst puts her in a class all her own!
The purse snatcher dropped Ruby’s handbag, but not before he’d stolen her checkbook. The elderly woman continues to despise the man who robbed her, but said she ultimately blames herself for the attack.
“It never dawned on me to think about being careful to look around that someone was going to accost me in a gated community,” she admitted.
It’s a great lesson for all women to stay alert at all times and to carry those precious purses close!
