While others were celebrating the start of 2013, an elderly French woman spent New Year's Eve trapped in a supermarket after being locked inside, officials said.

The 73-year-old was stuck inside the supermarket in the northern city of Roubaix after emerging from the toilet to find the shop closed and the doors locked, local firefighters said.

She set off the alarms several times throughout the night but there was no answer. She was only discovered the morning of New Year's Day around 10:30 am.

Despite her ordeal, the woman did not take advantage of the situation to snatch some New Year's treats and spent the night without eating or sleeping.

At least she was able to find a bathroom, which can be a pretty good trick in France.

Wow, an amazing story

Wow, an amazing story indeed.
First thought, she was going to eating good for her distress.
Now,article shows the character of the woman.
New report should be asking why when she set off the alarm several times that nobody had responded?
I suppose she was not able to call anyone on the phone to call the police.
Nobody working at the store security company?
