| Helen Dunsford is one tough cookie. |
66-year-old Helen Dunsford has stage 4 cancer and a low tolerance for thieves.
On April 1, 2011, an alleged female bank robber entered an Oakland Park, Florida, Bank of America and demanded $10,000.00. The purported thief shoved her hand in her purse, stated she had a gun, and ordered the bank's customers to hit the ground.
But instead of walking away with a purse full of stolen cash, the alleged stick-up artist was slammed to ground by a 66-year-old grandmother with stage 4 cancer.
The heroine, Helen Dunsford, told police the thief was getting on her nerves and she had had enough of the robber's shenanigans.
"She got on my last nerve. I have cancer, stage 4, and I figured if I'm gonna die it's God will when I die. She's not gonna shoot me," said Dunsford.
The offender has been identified as Renee Breen. Police say not only did Dunsford tackle Breen, she and a male customer restrained Breen until they arrived.
It's been said that Breen may have mental issues and the robbery was an April Fool's joke.

Bless her heart! BRAVO! Seems a lot more "older" WOMEN have more "balls" than men do..I'm just saying:)
This story is sad, funny, and inspiring.
I laughed so hard when I read where Dunsford said the crook was "getting on her last nerve". You go, girl!
