Grannies you said ?

Crime has come of age. Literally. And the global financial meltdown has something to do with it. The proof ?
In Germany 4 pensioners were taken to court and handed jail sentences because they had taken their financial advisor hostage for a week. Due to last years financial dip, the returns on the investments the advisor had done for the "gang of four" had taken a plunge. The four were not happy with that and decided to apply some pressure to get better results. And so they did.
The financial advisor was taken hostage. And he was forced to deposit a large sum of money into their accounts to make good for the losses. Only after he was able to leave a message with one of the transfers he made, was the police able to trace the victim. He was rescued. The rest is history....their ages : between 60 and 80 :-)
