Alleged burglar fights TV for 95-year-old victim's attention, loses
OCEAN SHORES, Wash. -- A burglar was able to smash out a window, steal money and run out the front door of an Ocean Shores home all without alerting the extremely hard of hearing 95-year-old watching TV in the living room, according to the Ocean Shores Police Department.
According to police, a witness called police around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday when he saw a man breaking a window at a home in the 100 block of Chance ala Mer.
Officers arrived while the man was still inside the home and watched as he fled out the front door, running right past the elderly woman watching TV, according to police.
Officers caught up with the man and arrested him. According to police, he had money from the woman's house on him and was booked into Grays Harbor County Jail for investigation of burglary.
The woman told officers she was unaware the man had even been in her house.
Must have been watching reruns of Murder She Wrote on the Beta Max.  Glad to hear she wasn't hurt though, and the scumbag was caught.

Um, Grandma? I think it's time we read through some brochures on retirement communities.Â
Seriously, I'm glad she wasn't hurt.
@path_tech No kidding! How scary!Â
I'm glad this burglar was caught and didn't do harm to the elderly lady. Â Although I would have been more impressed if she was only pretending hard of hearing and shot the turd.
This woman was very lucky this guy only wanted the quick grab and dash items...Got to love neighbors like this! Kudos to them for paying attention and responding quickly.
