They often tell you “Don’t be a hero” when it comes to robberies. This old woman ignored that advice and it actually worked.

Margaretta Wolf, 96, stopped a thief from his goal of robbing her grocery store, Wolf’s Grocery Store.
A masked man came into the Wisconsin store demanding cash when he came face to face with the fiesty older gal.
“I said, ‘I’m not opening up that cash register and that’s it. ‘I’m not opening it.’ I said, ‘You can have all the Tootsie Rolls you want but I am not opening that cash register,” Wolf told WKOW.
The robber didn’t back down and flashed a three-inch knife at Wolf.
But Wolf didn’t give up either; she told him she wouldn’t open the register and threatened to call the cops.
The man fled when he noticed a security camera in the 50-year-old store.
Police are still looking for the robber. But Wolf remains in the store, ready for all comers.
I hope other robbers don’t catch wind of Wolf’s generosity with Tootsie Rolls. You can come to Wisconsin and get all of the cheap chewy chocolate you want. I’m expecting some Fast and Furious level Tootsie Roll heists forthcoming. Watch out, Nana.
