Woman, 90, beats back burglars with cane.

BERLIN (Reuters) - A feisty 90-year-old
German woman chased away three
would-be burglars from her rural
farmhouse with her cane, police said
on Monday.
The retired farmer was moving
around her house with the help of a
walking frame and spotted the
intruders -- two men and one
woman.
She grabbed her cane and started
beating the burglars with it. The trio
fled the house in a town outside
Muenster.
"It was quite courageous of her," a
police spokeswoman said. "But on the
other hand it was also quite
dangerous. She was quite fortunate
that nothing serious happened.".
