Hello, I just saw this news broadcast on channel 7 news. Please get in touch with me regarding 77 yr old women getting mugged in building. I would like to give her $300 to replace the money that was stolen from her. This is a disgrace, how these thugs and punks can steal money and hurt an elderly women like this. They need to get a job. This is disgusting.
