Sprightly old people rock. This 78-year-old woman pursued and helped catch an armed robber in the parking lot of a mall on Long Island, NY. You can't hide from old ladies in a PC Richard, purse snatchers of the world. [Newsday]

Long Island, New York's Florida. Well, other than Florida, New York and all of Upstate.
While this is not recommended due to the possibility of getting a cap in your ass...
YOU GO, LADY!!! :D
She was about to go all "Gran Torino" on his ass.
"You can't hide from old ladies in a PC Richard, purse snatchers of the world."
Ooooh, comma splicing and a missing comma, all in one sentence! Impressive. (I'm assuming that the would-be robber/snatcher was named "Richard", and the article somehow makes the PC reference relevant -- it keeps timing out for me -- or I'd have to add "surreal".
@rlee: you are crazy. "PC Richard" is the name of a computer store--it's actually "PC Richard & Sons," I believe, but it's commonly/informally shortened to lose the son reference. In the story, the woman followed the man from the parking lot to the PC Richard store, where officers arrived and extracted him.
I hope that helps you parse the sentence correctly.
@Chris: Ah, ok. My apologies.
Wow, Madoff's wife really wants to hang on to her loot!
