Gnome Chucking Granny Thwarts Burglar

"I politely told him not to move," said Mrs Collop, who is in her late 60s and lives in Wadebridge, Cornwall. "I grabbed the first thing that came to hand, one of my garden gnomes, and hurled it at him, and hit him.

I truly love these stories of people fighting back against crime. Too bad someone didn't get a video of it.
