Woman sues teenage girls for giving hers cookies
Wanita Renea Young, 49, or Durango, Colorado was frightened out of her wits when her neighbors, two girls aged 17 and 18, knocked on her door to leave a gift of freshly baked cookies on her porch. She checked herself into the hospital the next day, fearing she had suffered a heart attack as a result of the girl's thoughtless act.
The girls offered to pay the medical bills, but Young took the matter to court. She sued the girls, winning a $900 judgment. The other neighbors who got cookies that night foolishly didn't sue the girls like clever Ms. Young; instead they wrote letters to the court praising the miscreants for their actions.
