When I worked at Iceland, we had an old chap who came in regularly and shoplifted cake and stuff. We were told he was so old and decrepit, we'd never get him to court, so we just kept an eye out for him and tried to minimize losses. One day we saw him go outside, get into his mobility scooter and unload a madeira cake from under his coat into the basket. My boss and I stepped out to challenge him, and I happened to be standing in front of the scooter.
He looked me straight in the eye, twisted the grip, and headed straight at me! He was last seen steaming up the pavement (at 8mph, I think), with shoppers leaping left and right to avoid him...
And have you noticed how in the adverts for them, they are always driven by ladies of about 50, or distinguished dapper looking gents of about 60, neither of whom show any sign of mobility problems, obesity, or anything like that. I suppose it's like cars all being advertised on empty winding roads...
