Envelope-stealing Grandma Arrested!

Atsuko Maeyama likes envelopes. In fact, the 67-year old unemployed granny (what does this mean, unemployed? Aren't 67-year olds supposed to be retired?) likes envelopes so much that, one afternoon in August, she slipped her wrinkly hand into some lady's handbag in a department store in Nagoya and stole one. It was only worth 2 yen, but she got a 5-year sentence because prosecutors think her kleptomaniacal tendencies (she's has 14 prior theft convictions and just finished a jail term in May) are a menace to society. Come on, guys. Can't you just buy her some at the stationery store instead?
