The Interpreter Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 See also: ...According to Aurora Police Chief Seth Riewaldt, a man with a gun approached a 60-year-old toll booth worker about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.The suspect demanded money from the worker, but when the woman hesitated, the robber tried to open the register himself. He failed and then fled. Witnesses working with police helped lead officers to the suspects, the chief said. They are being held in the Portage County Jail pending initial court appearances. http://www.ohio.com/.../101162989.html and http://www.auroraadv...article/4881041 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 They also spell Nissan as Nussan and Altima as Ultima, among another two or three spelling & grammatical errors I picked up... Really awful when this happens, and since only one of the five toll booths is ever staffed, it must've been incredibly terrible for the young woman, who didn't even have anyone to scream to afterwards besides through the phones... Also, for anyone unfamiliar with Geauga Lake's Wildwater Kingdom's parking lot, the would-be robbers clearly didn't have a plan formulated before they started - even a glance at Google Maps would reveal that the only way out of the parking lot is via the way in - you would have to pull in, rob the woman, do a U-turn, and head out in the same direction, leaving plenty of time for noting vehicle plates, color, make & model, etc...

The Interpreter Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 Young woman? 60 is young? YAY! Anyway, since both of them used to work there, one as a parking lot attendant, I doubt they were rocket scientists. How could they possibly NOT realize they would be recognized?

bkroz Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Absolutely a young woman! Many 60 year olds I know how more vigor and appreciation for life than people my age, if you can believe it! This might even be an example of that, since the two people who are closer to my age did something like this... I wouldn't call that appreciation for life, since you're committing yourself to jail time, public service, & lots of monetary loss by acting in such a way.
