Dan Donovan said a man posing as a utility worker knocked on the door of the house in the suburb of Niles claiming he needed to check a fuse box.

While the man was in the basement with the couple they heard floorboards creaking overhead."I hear the floor in the bedroom squeaking and I yelled Dan! Dan! Somebody's in our bedroom!" she said.

Dan Donovan chased the three men out of the house, grabbing his grandfather's antique Irish walking stick as he went.."So I picked up the Irish shillelagh and that turned out to be the equalizer because I managed to chase them out of the house."The former marine, who was barefoot, struck the man carrying the pillowcase on the back of the head with the stick before chasing the group of men onto the road.
