Reuters reported, "The retired farmer was moving around her house with the help of a walking frame and spotted the intruders -- two men and one woman. She grabbed her cane and started beating the burglars with it. The trio fled the house in a town outside Muenster."

Muenster police spokeswoman said, "It was quite courageous of her. But on the other hand it was also quite dangerous. She was quite fortunate that nothing serious happened."

This woman was lucky that the burglars didn't have weapons or decided not to use them. The suspects have yet to be captured. (c) tPC
