New York City elderly couple turns tables on con artists trying to steal Rolex watch

NEW YORK CITY -- An elderly couple in New York City is speaking out after they fought back when they were targeted by con artists for their Rolex watch.

Of all the easy marks in all the world, Larry Schwartz, 87, and his wife Joanna Cuccia are not among them.

"You have an attitude? I'll give you an attitude. I was raised on the street," Schwartz said.

The two have been married for decades and are pushing 90. They found themselves the victims of a con when they walked into a local senior center and a stranger approached them from behind.

"'I'm from Dubai,' he said, 'I need directions. Could you give me directions?'" Cuccia recalled. "I said, 'Welcome to New York. What directions do you need?' He said, 'Where could I go to find a Walmart?' I said, 'There are no Walmarts in Manhattan.' H
