MELBOURNE, Fla. -- A man trying to swipe a scooter in Brevard County
tangled with the wrong woman on Monday.
A 50-year-old woman stabbed a thief who attempted to steal a gas
powered scooter, dragging it across the driveway, WESH 2 News
reported.
"I'm proud of her. You have a right to protect your property,"
husband C.W Heusinkveld said.
Heusinkveld knew all along his wife was tough. When the thief tried
to drag away their scooter, she picked up a heavy, forked weeding
tool. She thrust it into his back so hard he fell over, and she fell
on top of him
"She's probably tougher than I am. I don't want to mess with her, and
I'm married to her," Heusinkveld said.
The 74-year-old was asleep when it happened. He said it was lucky for
the thief that he was.
Police came up empty handed when they searched for the thief, but
Heusinkveld said he is ready in case he returns.
They never found the gardening tool. Police think the guy might show
up in a hospital.

I suspect the theif will get a good attorney and charge her with attempted
murder. After all everyone knows a mans life is more valuable than some
little scooter. Plus we all have to make sure our attoneys get a big
paycheck, its the American way. Laws are written by Attorneys for Attorneys.

Good for her. The worst criminals are those that take advantage of the
less fortunate like the elderly or children. Hopefully the thief got
the point that crime doesn't pay.
