Hungary's notorious octogenarian thief is not ready for retirement.

Police say the 84-year-old woman, known as "Flying Gizi", whose criminal record goes back to the 1950s, is again in custody for suspected theft.

The burglar, whose real name is Gizella Bodnar, is suspected of taking 15,000 forints ($100) from a home in Bicske, a town in central Hungary.

Bodnar, who has spent nearly 18 years in prison, got her nickname because she enjoys taking airline flights after break-ins.
