Now that is one breach of the 5th Amendment* I can totally agree with.

*5th = Right not to be forced to incriminate oneself, from which comes the saying, "I plead the 5th", meaning "I'm not saying anything so I don't dig myself in a deeper hole."*

Good for her! If that happened more often it would definitely take it's toll on that kind of crime.

Hahaha that's amazing.

My only point:

'burglarized'... burglarized?! How about we have a wee lesson in English: BURGLED.

"It was exciting," she said.

Stories like this make me think that getting old might not be so bad. :D

In my world she would have had arthritis and eventually die from a heart attack.

Ah, Entertainment.

"Burgled" makes no sense. Reads more like onomatopoeia.
