A 75 year old woman stole a tin of chicken stock from a supermarket in Kwun Tong because of greed. After her arrest, it was found out that she overstayed in Hong Kong for 13 years. She pleaded guilty for her theft and was sentenced to jail for 2 months. When passing sentence, the judge expressed that she had overstayed in Hong Kong for so long, therefore, she has to be in prison, but due to her old age and pleaded guilty, also she has never committed any crime, her sentencing were reduced from 6-9 months to 2 months. The judge has been very generous when passing sentence.

The old woman is called Lo Wai Yee, she came to Hong Kong in October 1996. During the time she has lived here she has never left Hong Kong. On the 14th this month, the salesman in Kwun Tong supermarket heard the alarm bell, he quickly stopped Lo from leaving the store. They searched her shopping and found that she hadn't paid for the chicken stock. They called the police and Lo admitted that she was greedy. Later on it was found that she had overstayed in Hong Kong for 13 years.
