A Fool and Her Money Are Soon Parted

Authorities in Los Angeles County, California are looking for two suspects who allegedly scammed a woman out of thousands of dollars for a fake gold bar.
Authorities say two suspects approached the victim in a Mancaster mall.
The surveillance tape shows the woman withdrawing $9,000 from the bank to pay for the bar of gold.
The woman had been saving the money to make a down payment on a house.
"She dropped them off. And when she went to cash in the gold bar, they told her it was fake," said Det. Miguel Torres, L.A. County Sheriff's Dept.

I feel no sympathy for this woman. If you're going to be this stupid, you almost deserved to get robbed. Now I wish this never happened, but someone who is so dumb, really isn't deserving of our sympathy. In fact, the money is probably in better hands now.
