Since you recently said you love thse stories, here's my little gift to
you.
Note: the article incorrectly calls the perp a burglar, sounds more
like a home invasion robbery to me. Well, an attempted one, anyway. A
really, really lame attempt.

JUNEAU, Wis. (AP) - An elderly man fended off a would-be burglar with a
shoehorn before the man invaded another home and was arrested, the
Dodge County Sheriff's Department said.
The man kicked in the door of an elderly couple's home in Lebanon about
1 a.m. Monday, demanded money and threatened to shoot them, the
sheriff's department said in a news release.
But the husband, who is in his 80s, beat the man around the head with a
long shoehorn, forcing him from the home.
The intruder and another man then committed another home invasion in
the Oconomowoc area and were arrested in Waukesha County, the release
said.
