Gunman steals toilet paper from elderly couple

Two elderly people in Jacksonville, Florida were held up at gunpoint in their home on Monday. According to the police report, it happened shortly before 9 a.m. on Phoenix Ave.

The man and woman were sitting in their living room when a stranger opened the door and walked in.

He pointed a pistol at the man and said, "Give it up man, the brown wallet." The man said he had no wallet, and the suspect searched him.

He then turned the gun to the woman and demanded her money. She also said she had none.

The suspect then took two bundles of toilet paper from the house and ran off down Winthrop St.

As for the reference to the "brown wallet," the man told police he normally carries his Social Security money in a brown wallet, but hadn't had his cheque yet, so he didn't have the wallet with him.
