Woman, 65, Singlehandedly Stops 5 Masked Thugs From Robbing Her Pawn Shop (VIDEO)

Posted: Updated: 08/04/2012 10:57 am

When five masked thugs attempted to rob a southern California pawn shop earlier this week, they expected it to be easy picking.

But the 65-year-old woman who owned the shop had a different idea. She scared them off by firing two

The attempted heist occurred Sunday at Continental Jewelry and Pawn Shop in Garden Grove, Calif., when the men walked into the store wearing masks and hoods, KCAL-TV reported.

At least two of the men were armed with guns and three of the men were also carrying pillow cases, according to Lt. Jeff Nightengale of the Garden Grove police department.

“They demanded everyone get down on the ground. They asked for valuables inside the store,” Nightengale said.

But the woman, whose name has not been released, wasn't going to give up any merchandise without a fight.

After the woman fires the shots, the men can be seen racing back to the door, fighting to get out as the woman runs after them.

The SUV left before three of the suspects made it back inside the vehicle, The Los Angeles Times reported.

Police said those suspects were picked up about a block away and added nothing was taken from the store and no one was hurt, KTLA-TV reported.handguns at the clerks and a customer. rounds at the burglars with a handgun set aside for such occasions.

The woman's efforts to thwart the robbery aren't the only case of a senior citizen doing what it takes to stop a crime.

Otilia Martins, an 80-year-old grandmother in New Bedford, Mass., recently tried to stop two men from robbing her son-in-law's market by hurling mangoes and a bag of apples at the suspect with the gun.

During the robbery, one of the men hit Martins, a Portuguese immigrant, with the gun. But despite the laceration, she refused to go to the hospital to have her injuries treated.

Good Morning, this is just to make one little clarification on something

that I mentioned about work and saving money. When I mentioned Design,

I think it was misunderstood that my business is Designs. That part is just is an ongoing learning experience with Logo's, Image's, Graphic's, and Website Designs. I do this for Fun and

just maybe a little branding around here showing

new concepts and also sharing what I think is a very powerful Website Building Program. By using this with my Domain Name, (www.kalamazoohandymen.com) and Website Builder that comes with hosting, I have built a Website for my Trade Business. Electrician by trade and a pretty good general handyman and that is my main source of income. More and more when people are looking for things to be fixed, installed, and upgraded through the internet doing searches, they find my Website.

I provide a real service and don't have to baffle people.

I just wanted to mention this as not thinking I was making money from a

source where I am really not. That would be misleading.

Another one I did was for Julie's Business.

We took the little dog out once just for a ride and I kept telling Julie that the dog

would be fine and it was silly to put a leash on her.

Two minutes latter the cute little ****s decides for no reason

that I could think of,

Takes a flying leap of faith into the water.

She stay's on shore now.

Besides, she (dog) can't fish…

Thank you for your kind words.

I see I am not the only one that has a breaking point,

but decided not to add to it.




This is just a small little example

Hello Mark

I wasn't ignoring your comments about me putting my phone number and email address out there. I lost sight of which forum from which you sent it.

I put my phone number and email address out there because I want to be seen as an approachable and honest person. I have on occasion wanted to talk to some people online about the program they are offering and they don't want to talk and they don't want emails; they just want people to sign up. I don't want to do business with those people, would you?

I am aware that there maybe some danger in doing that. I do get some calls and maybe that is why but when I get to talk to them, I try to recruit them into my program :)) The same with the emails. If I get too many, I will remove the phone number and email address but for now if they pester me, I will recruit them or put them on my email list.

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the clarification but I'm of the opinion that with the sort of web design you are doing you could probably make some money with your talent and designs. I for one am very appreciative of the logos you prepared for my joke thread and believe people will be willing to pay for your talents.

Yeah, dogs can do the unexpected but first of all they know how to swim and secondly I'm sure it added some liveliness to your day on the lake. :)

I know what you mean by breaking point and I decided to air my views and opinions this time but after reading the replies I'm convinced it was a wasted effort.

Shalom,

Peter

Mark I wish you lived close enough to me so I could hire you to do a few jobs. Since your business is growing so well tells me you do a good job and can be trusted. Are you on any of the lists like Angie's List or ServiceMagic? My guess is you probably don't need to since you are doing so well. When I lived in Oak Ridge I hired a couple of guys off of the ServiceMagic site to install hardwood and ceramic flooring and they did excellent work at a reasonable rate. I found my lawn service and a plumber here in Florida through ServiceMagic also. I have a few other things that still need to be taken care of. I wish you continued success.
