My elderly mother was shopping at M.R. Meats and Fred's Produce yesterday. When she was done her shopping, she packed her trunk with her purchases from the Produce store, but accidentally left her grocery bag full of meat in the shopping cart. With her hard-earned money, she had purchased a couple of steaks, some sausage and some lunch meat. She realized a short time later that she didn't have her meat purchases, and went back to both stores.

No one had turned in her bag of groceries. My mom, a widow living only on pension benefits, hopes that the person who stole her groceries really needed it more than she did...
