He was the personal driver for a drug dealer, who hasn’t been caught I might add. He wasn’t a bank robbery getaway driver lol.

I have to hope this guy was some sort of maniac driver like the queen was to at least make it worth being a getaway driver.

Did he watch Porridge back in the day and think ‘I fancy a piece of that’?

It was all going so well until we turned up to the heist in his Austin Allegro 1300L, wearing a trilby and driving gloves 😄

Wait…wasn’t this the plot of The Mule? I feel like I saw John Mulaney and Pete Davidson do a bit about it.

I mean, they should have just put him in a home, they’re basically prisons already, and he’d be with others his age. Call me crazy, but 81 seems too old to be put in jail for getaway driving

OK. I don’t think he’s lonely anymore. Also, what kind of gang hires +80 years old getaway drivers?

Wasn’t there a Clint Eastwood movie with similar plot?
Well, it’s sad, but he will have company in jail, so there’s that.

If I was an old geezer into some illegal activities and got caught, I would also come up with a touching story to gain some sympathy. Not saying that he did, as I don’t know anything about the case, but old people like money and crime too. And they have a life of experience spinning bullshit.

Elderly committing crimes to purposely go to jail is actually becoming rather common in Japan. The country has a very big issue with aging population and the elderly figured that they can get decent enough living conditions with a lot more attention and communication in jail then the outside world. It’s in fact such a big issue there that some are repeating the cycle and speed run going back to jail when they are released.

We need to get these guys into online gaming
This is what a broken home at old age looks like.
Cue Kavinsky’s Nightcall
They’d never of taken me alive!
I’d let him go & help him find some friends.
Probably caught because the police were able to outpace his mobility scooter.
Old ppl usually aren’t known for being great drivers. Could explain why they got caught.
Reminds me of that Clint Eastwood movie The Mule
His theme song:
