San Francisco: A man who tried to rob an elderly grandmother in her home got a lot more than he bargained for. Juan Garcia Vasquez tried to break into the 73-year-old woman's home here, but woke her up when he smashed a window. She opened her front door to see what was going on and Vasquez put a cloth over her mouth to muffle her screams. But she managed to calm the man down and offered him something to eat. Police officer Paul Zill said: "He didn't speak English that well and she didn't speak Spanish so they used the international language of pointing and nodding." The woman then showed Vasquez pictures of Saint Theresa and began praying next to him. She also showed him pictures of her grandchildren and shared stories about them, said the police. When Vasquez returned from using the bathroom he indicated he'd used the last of her toilet paper. When he nodded off, his intended victim locked herself in the bathroom from where she called her daughter.
