Well, oldfella62- maybe her job cashes her check for her and she had cash in her purse...stranger things have happened- people cash other people's social security checks all the time. Don't be so quick to try and put blame on the VICTIMS

So...how is the robber (AKA Albert Einstein) going to cash another person's paycheck anyway? Just curious as to how that works.
