Criminal gran gets knitting punishment
An 89-year-old grandmother who went on a tyre-wrecking spree in her street has been ordered to knit jumpers for her victims.
Heidi Kohl, from western Germany, was arrested after one neighbour spotted her slashing the tyres on a car. She later confessed that she had resorted to drastic measures after becoming "fed up" with so many drivers parking in her neighbourhood.
Kohl was initially told that she would be fined for her behaviour, but authorities came up with the more unusual punishment after the woman claimed she would be unable to pay.
A spokeswoman confirmed: "When she's knitted the sweaters, then the matter will be over for us."
Kohl is believed to have wrecked 50 tyres in total. Prosecutors have said that she will not offend again as she has since been moved to a retirement home.
Granny better take her arthritis meds!
LOL.
Thats funnny.
GRANNIES GONE WILD.
ashley krueger!
is that the granny?
Granny best be knitting some cute jumpers.
Its kinda funny, but sad at the same time.
dont ya mean tires..i was like tyres what the hell is that!!! granny should have thought about not being able to pay before she went on the rampage!
tyre?
old people fucking rock
She moved to a retirement home; she'll be slashing the tyres on the wheelchairs next.
Is that Katy Perry?
I want a sweater.
All that knitting is going to make her cataracts worse.
who spells tire as "tyre"? geez i was like what the hell is a "tyre-wrecking spree?"
It's tire, not tyre… you confused the hell outta me.
Wow, TYRES? It is spelled tires. Oh, and neighbour is spelled neighbor, obviously making neighbourhood spelled neighborhood. Oh, and behaviour is actually spelled behavior. What ever happened to spell check? The author of that post is blogging below a 2nd grade level!
good for her damnit! my neighborhood is full of assholes who park their cars in the street. it gets old real quick. add to that the retarded fucks who don't know what sidewalks are for, and you can barely drive down the damn road without nearly wrecking your car or running over something/someone.
Re: Dtherese83 – he stole this story off another site - in parts of europe, they add U to words where we don't. and apparently they spell tire with a y…
Re: Dtherese83 –
It's copied and pasted off a popular British site… that's how we spell things in England (and also how Americans used to spell things before they starting cutting letters out of the language to create American English).
Re: iloverob –
It's a British article, thus written in English, not American English…
FOLKS! The spellings are British English. The story comes from Digitalspy.co.uk. The original journo is English, hence the "strange" spellings. (US ones look just as odd to us Brits ya know!)
50 jumpers?! Damn I hope she's a fast knitter!
her outfits are so fuckin stupid…
Re: mollymouse – tyres is the actual way to spell it, not the americanised way
It almost makes me feel embarrassed to be an American when I see that my fellow Americans can't tell the difference from American English and British English. Americans are not the inventors of the English language.
is that katy's gran, in the picture? damn how tall is katy? how short is the grandma? lol
A sweater will not pay for new tires.
Those things are hella expensive!
Re: JLB4274 – You are truly brilliant for saying that!
