An 89-year-old woman has been arrested in the US for refusing to give back a ball a child had kicked into her garden.

The boy's mother, Kelly Tanis, said Mrs Jester had taken balls from her five children before, so she called the police.

"This time it was a ball that my son had just bought with his own money. He works and he makes his own money, and he bought that ball, and six days later she took it."

Well, that boy better learns early that life isn't all sweet and dandy. And since this wasn't the first time it happened, I'm tempted to say that Kelly's kids have at least some sort of reputation in the neighbourhood.
