It’s safe to conclude that the majority of people have a really unique bond with their grandparents. They are compassionate, considerate, and typically a little less rigid with the regulations than our parents.

My grandparents were always available to take me on wonderful trips, help me bake, and let me eat as much candy as I wanted.

My grandma was able to transform a little stroll into a fantastic pirate adventure, where treasure was hidden behind every stone, even if it was merely into the woods behind her house.

As I became older, I understood there were no pirates or hidden riches under grandma’s house. But the idea that she was able to transform the commonplace into the spectacular resonated with me.

Another thing you learn about grandparents early on is that it’s useless to mess with them. You already know how it will turn out. If you run into Winifred Peel, a 77-year-old British woman from Wirral, that is unquestionably the case.

Winifred, a retiree, went to a cash machine one day to get some cash.

She saw someone approaching from behind her as she stood there protecting her pin. Two men had knocked her off balance before she could react. Then, still another man showed up.

swift action

The men were thieves, and if Winifred didn’t take action right now, they would empty her account completely.

But Winifred came up with a plan when one of the men attempted to withdraw money.

She grabbed the man’s collar and used all her strength to slam his head into the cash machine.

Before the robbers were forced to flee, rushing like dogs with their tails between their legs, she was able to hit the man’s skull against the machine three times.

The attackers were then detained later that day after Winifred called the police.

One of the reasons Winifred’s defensive behavior helped the police identify the men so quickly was the head wound one of them had received. Felix Stoica, Florin Gebelscu, and Piper Dumitru were named as the individuals. All three were ultimately found guilty in court and sentenced to prison.

The bandits drove to the village, according to the prosecutor, looking for easy prey.

“They did not care about how this would affect me,” Winifred said, as per British source Metro. “I would definitely say this has changed my life, I will never have the confidence I once did.”

Fortunately, Winifred had a tenacity the robbers hadn’t anticipated because she had grown up with three brothers and attended the gym four days a week.

Winifred, go! I really hope she gave those boys a lesson.

Of course, robbing someone should never be the goal, but three young men taking advantage of a grandma who is 77? That is absolutely shameless.
