80 and still on the job

LOS ANGELES (AP) - February 26, 2010

Her criminal record stretches back to 1955.

Thompson was in court again this week and pleaded guilty to stealing about $1,400 from a Los Angeles area doctors' office.

She's made a long career of breaking into medical offices.

The prosecutor says Thompson "just likes to steal."

She called the prosecutor "sweetie."

Thompson also thanked the judge, for ordering her to serve a three-year sentence in state prison rather than the county jail.
