Gotcha.

After his daughter's house had been burglarized twice in the previous week, Donald Stewart decided to protect her home. So he hid under a blanket in his daughter's Andrews, South Carolina, house after she went out.

At about 8 p.m. on September 14, right on schedule, two men entered the house and "began taking a dresser from the house." That's when Stewart "surprised them," reported myrtlebeachonline.com. The startled men dropped the dresser, while Stewart took aim and fired. Stewart managed to hit one of the men in the chest before they made their escape--their brief escape.

Their undoing came because they exited the area so rapidly that they left their truck behind. When the uninjured robber, Mark Jayroe, tried to retrieve the truck, Stewart caught him and held him at gunpoint until the police arrived. The second burglar, Ronald Chandler, was later arrested as well.
