It's a good thing Miss McAlister knew her stuff and stuck to her guns! Can you imagine if they'd picked on someone much less savvy and certainly not nearly as plucky!? Some poor grey-haired old pensioner as they say ... be lucky if someone wasn't hurt ...

Doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous! Maybe if she'd have gotten a fella at the desk instead of a disinterested female cop?

But when she went to a police station to report the crime, she was told by an officer behind the desk that it was not a crime because she had got the bag back.The first British "Chief Wiggum Award" winner.

My ancestors knew it was a failing empire back in the 1620's and got out. Don't know what happened to that "early adopter" trait over the centuries, though.
Not a crime since she recovered her own property? I'm surprised they didn't charge the victim with theft since she took the bag from the person holding it. That lunacy is probably not too far into the future, given the way Britian is devolving.
