Old and wise
After Leda Smith, 85, arrived at her Springhill Township, Penn., home after church, she saw a burglar. "I just walked right on past him to the bedroom and got my gun," she said, which she put next to her bed after another burglary nearby. She then went and found the
burglar, who was hiding, and ordered him to the phone. She had him dial 911 for her, and held him at gunpoint while she waited for the police.
"He just kept saying he didn't do it," Smith said. "It was exciting. I just hope I broke up the ring because they have been hitting a lot of places around here." (Uniontown Herald-Standard) ...Old and wise beats
young and stupid just about every time.
I sure hope I'm still that gutsy when I'm 85. She's awesome.
