They Picked the Wrong House — 81-Year-Old Marine Vet Teaches Burglars an Important Lesson
Criminals often prey on the elderly, but one member of the greatest generation recently proved that an 81-year-old former marine is not the best person to mess with. As ABC 7 Chicago reported, a burglar posing as a utility worker and two accomplices entered the home of Dan and Barbara Donovan. Things didn’t exactly go according to plan for the would-be thieves. Instead of walking out with stolen goods, the three men ran out of the house as Mr. Donovan made it clear that they were not welcome. See the news story below.
