Reading the title, I though maybe it was about an unwed female burglar, or maybe her new pageant title of 'Miss Burglar'

SAN DIEGO — The owner of a Talmadge motorcycle shop shot a burglary suspect who was leaving the store early Thursday morning carrying a shotgun.
An alarm company notified the owner of Trophy Motorcycles about 3 a.m. that the alarm had been triggered at the store on El Cajon Boulevard near 50th Street, San Diego police said.

The owner went to the store armed with a pistol and saw a man coming out a door, carrying a bag in one hand and the shotgun in the other hand,

With no burglary alarm, Mr. Ardrey had to get creative. He took soda cans and placed them behind the doors.


"Whenever the door would open, these pop cans would come across the cement and make noise, and that's what would wake me up because I was in a sound sleep," Ardrey said, demonstrating the disruptive noise the can made.


That make-shift alarm had him ready to meet the intruder.
...

"So I told them, 'You boys come in this office,' I said, 'I've got a ride coming for you,' and they sat down right here," he said, pointing to a bench in the office.


By Oklahoma Law, Ardrey could have shot and killed the men with no consequence. The arresting officer reminded them of that.
