After being robbed, 84-year-old self-isolating pensioner resorts to eating food from her bins Empty After being robbed, 84-year-old self-isolating pensioner resorts to eating food from her bins

A vulnerable 84-year-old pensioner who had been staying at home due to the coronavirus pandemic was forced to eat old food from her bin after a 'callous' thief stole supplies from her doorstep.

The pensioner, identified by police as 'Elizabeth' had accidentally locked herself in her west London flat and was unable to go outside for essential food supplies.

Met Police rescued the pensioner from the Feltham property, and said she had been left to starve.

On arrival at the property earlier this week the response officers, PC Matt Hodge and Pat Peltier made sure Elizabeth had all the essentials to make her feel comfortable.

Pretty bad!

But for the most part, people have been really kind and considerate. People holding doors. Letting seniors cut in front of line. People seem to be going out of their way for each other.

Sometimes the kindness that you see from the majority just makes you all the more angry at the selfish minority. I would love to find whoever stole her groceries and send him to the nearest hospital, where he can explain to the overworked NHS staff what he did. At the same time, I'd like to nominate the police who helped her for knighthood.

yeah I'd send him to the nearest hospital all right, but between a totally smashed face, broken bones and severe internal trauma......I dont think he'd be able to explain much.....

Could have no family, or have a family that doesn't care.

Neighbors could be old too and hiding inside.

But it's still odd that there is no one on the planet checking on this poor woman.

Well that’s why I am questioning it. Can’t help it.

Seems this horrible crisis we have all been plunged into either brings out the best or the worst in people.
Poor lady, I hope someone is looking out for her now.

"The isolated OAP has no nearby family or friends."

She also locked herself in her home to stay safe.

Safe from what I wonder? Other people or the virus?
