In South Salt Lake Utah, a 75-year-old woman chased down a purse-snatcher and recovered her stolen purse.

On Wednesday, Betty Horton was loading groceries into her car when she looked down and saw that her purse had been stolen. She spied a man running with it under his arm and chased him down the street until she came upon him looking into her open purse. Although she didn’t have a gun, she told him to give it back or she would shoot his ear off.
