TITUSVILLE Fla. - A thief dressed in a woman's wig, clothing and makeup snatched a 71-year-old grandmother's purse in a Titusville mall, police said.
Dotty Stella, who was celebrating her birthday at a restaurant when she was robbed Monday, said she thought she noticed something funny about the woman.
"Ain't no woman I know is shaped like that from behind," Stella told Florida Today. "And I was right. It wasn't a she. It was a he."
Stella was finishing a soda at a hot dog restaurant, when she said the man dressed as a woman came from nowhere and grabbed her purse.
A 16-year-old old boy has been charged with robbery, Titusville police Cmdr. Todd Hutchinson said. The teen's name is not being released because he's a juvenile.
Police said they found the thief in a nearby neighborhood, ditching his disguise and hopping on his bicycle. Stella's purse was returned to her.
Dotty Stella, huh? Peaches Geldof ain't gonna like that!
