An old lady was taking her dog for a stroll in the park at dusk. As a young guy approached her, snatched her wallet, and ran away. A couple from across the street hurried over to see how she was doing, telling her that the authorities had been informed and would be there shortly.
With a smile on her face, the old lady tells the newlyweds that. Before she can dispose of her dog's waste at home, she puts it in her old handbag. The thief's expression of astonishment upon opening the purse is priceless.

As someone known for his keen observational skills and sometimes frank assessments, Cowell found this performance to be particularly moving. The auditorium fell into an unusual quiet as the last chords echoed through the room. Cowell got up from his seat, clearly affected, in an iconic moment that would be repeated and relived again.
