PITTSBURGH -- A Pittsburgh thief turned out to be no match for a little nun with a commanding voice.
Sister Lynn Rettinger didn't even have to break out a ruler for a man who reached into an open window and stole a wallet from a car on Tuesday. She just needed the voice honed by nearly 50 years in Catholic schools.
After a teacher saw the man swipe the wallet, the 5-foot-3-inch-tall principal of Sacred Heart Elementary School in the Shadyside neighborhood went outside and firmly told the man, "you need to give me what you have."
The unknown thief turned over the wallet, apologized and walked away.

I didn’t go to Catholic school, but I did attend Sunday school. Call any of those nuns a penguin and your hands would have been sore for a month. They could swing a mean ruler.

The portrayal in the Blues Brothers movie was quite accurate.

LOL.
That’s the one from Blues Brothers, correct? Any idea who the actress playing Sister is? I’m drawing a blank. :)

Or a blackboard eraser. Always a perfect hit to the right side of the head for old Sr. Eagle Eyes.
