Oops, Wrong Coin Collection: A man stealing a coin collection in a
Hilton Head Plantation home at noon Wednesday found himself running
for his life after the homeowner shot at him and chased him out of the
house. The unidentified man, who was armed with a large stick or club,
broke into a house on Teal Lane while the residents were inside,
according to a news release from the Beaufort County [SC] Sheriff's
Office. The intruder entered through the unlocked front door and
walked down the hall into a bedroom, where he started stealing a coin
collection, according to the release. The owner confronted the robber,
who threatened the owner and kept taking the coins, according to the
release. The owner ran to another room, grabbed a handgun and chased
the robber. The owner fired a shot and missed, and the robber drove
off in an SUV. Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Cpl. Robin McIntosh said
she did not know if the shot was fired while they were inside or
outside the home. The homeowner fell while chasing the robber and
suffered minor injuries. His wife, who also was home, was not injured,
according to the release… (It sounds as thought the homeowner followed
Rule Three and kept his finger out of the trigger guard.)
