I love stories like this.
Three would-be thieves who tried to break into business premises got the fright of their lives when they were confronted by a samurai sword-wielding, third dan black belt...Mr [Lewis] Montague [age 58] heard noises and pulled the door blind open as the intruders were trying to get in. He let out a blood-curdling yell, called a kiai, and chased them off the site...Mr Montague added: "I ran after them, I jumped the gate, still with my sword and I was still shouting. I've never seen so much smoke coming from tyres before."
-----------------
Good work, Mr. Montague. The best part is the smoking tires. That, and the fact that he's 58. Is this guy cool, or what?

Oh, and while we're on the subject of people who take care of problems by themselves...

And just to show that there are still some self-help types in higher office...
