Oh Grandmother, what a rubbery face you have! - Yahoo! News

SANTIAGO (Reuters) – A Chilean man tried to steal $80,000 from his 82-year-old grandmother by disguising his 21-year-old girlfriend as the elderly woman and having her withdraw money from the bank, but the plot was foiled.

The man falsified his grandmother's identity card and his girlfriend wore a latex mask. They might have gotten away with it if it weren't for a bank worker who called the grandmother's home and learned she was visiting relatives in Venezuela.

"She acted like an elderly woman, was dressed as elderly woman and moved like one. It was a good impersonation," Victor Mellado, head of client service at the Banco de Chile in the port city of Talcahuano in southern Chile told local television.

The pair have been arrested by the police for attempted fraud and falsification of documents and face a maximum of up to three years in jail if convicted, prosecutor Jose Orella said.

Stealing from your relative is actually often easier for people than stealing strangers.

You may think you can talk your way out of it if you get caught. Maybe you think it's YOUR money anyway since your grandma is spending all her money insteed of keeping it to give it to you when she die, maybe you just have more easely acces to the informations you need to actually make this work.

People steal their parent's and grandparent's very often. Working at the old folk home when I was younger, I was shocked to realise how much people abuse of their older relative all the time.

THO! this is pretty creative and elaborate for a simple fraud ~
I think it's hilarious how people think they can get away with such a complex plot XD this is so funny! i think I give them 8/10 for the creativity ~
