Robber caught by 93 year-old groin-grabbing Granny
The robbery had seemed like a no-brainer. They had done their homework and had it all figured out. After all, what could a frail 93-year old grandmother, all alone in her apartment, do against two strapping young men if they decided to break in? What could possibly go wrong? That's exactly what two would-be-robbers must have been thinking when they knocked on pensioner, Soja Popova's apartment door in Lithuania last weekend.
But Miss Popova, from Klaipeda, was not quite as frail as she looked however, and shocked the two young men by fighting back fiercely and grabbing one of them by the testicles. The plucky pensioner, who says she has developed a "grip like iron" due to her many years of milking goats, held on tightly until police arrived on the scene to rescue the whimpering man.

It all began when Soja Popova, opened the door to her apartment in Klaipeda, Lithuania, last Saturday, and was shoved to the ground by two young men.
But she bravely fought back by grabbing the nearest by the testicles and squeezing "with all my force as hard as I could".
She told police: "He started screaming like an animal and his friend was trying to pull him free, but I have a grip like iron."
The man's screams of agony and his friend's shouts for the woman to let go alerted neighbors, who called police. When officers arrived a few minutes later Miss Popova, who still had the man's wedding tackle tightly in her grip, finally released her prey so police could take the injured man to hospital and his accomplice off to jail.
A police spokesman said: "They would not have got far, one of them could hardly walk and seemed pleased when he saw the police car".
The guys here at the Gag Report would like to congratulate Miss Popova on her brave struggle against these cowardly criminals.
Actually, it's a bit ironic when you think stop and think about it. After all, here's a young guy planning to steal this poor woman's valuables and family heirlooms but as it turns out, she ends up holding on to his 'family jewels' instead!
