She is 87, jumps from the 2nd floor and walks away? Wow! If I make it to 87 I want to be that genki.

Good for granny. Glad she was OK. The article fails to tell us what region the intruder hails from and how much money he got away with. Nice of her neighbor to assist her despite it being late at night. More reason for security cameras in every room.

Who knows if there even really was an intruder in that phantasy story. 87-yrs old woman, freeing from rope tied hands and legs and additionally jumping from second floor and making it relatively unharmed to the neighbors', that is altogether assigned with a very low probability, let's say nearly improbable.
