Thanks, Mal. Sis cancelled all the credit cards, & her husband changed all the locks at home while the "Norwegian Mafia" was in the hospital. The purse was found with nothing missing but her cash. And the bad guys were caught because of the grocery store video tape and that they had made a practice of targeting little old ladies.
She has Sammie-the-badass (a huge Boxer), but last night she dreamed that he was poisoned. Majorly pissed off the poor guy when she got up in the middle of the night to wake him up to see if he was ok. Yeah, he's another Rottie. Pretty much useless in the home defense department.
A class for seniors in personal safety is something I hadn't thought of. Mom has called AARP for information of any kind, and this is a good one to pursue.
My retired BIL got her out of the house for breakfast today, and at 6'7" he no longer allows her to be an easy target.
Inch by inch, I hope she can regain some of her former confidence. Thanks again.
