A California woman live-tweeted a break-in by her neighborhood sneak-thief - as she attacked the burglar with bear spray and a samurai sword and drove him off.



Sonya Yu, a San Francisco photographer, learned that the thief had been roaming her neighborhood stealing packages from doorsteps. He had allegedly stolen $1,000 worth of deliveries from Miss Yu herself.



On Tuesday, she put out a 'bait package' and waited on her balcony to see whether the burglar would try to steal it.



'Apparently, our neighborhood thief has a violent rape rap sheet. My bear spray, bokken, & I are still not intimidated,' she tweeted about 2.10pm.



A bokken is a wood samurai sword used for training.



At 4.45pm, she tweeted about writing her wedding vows and how she was certainly going to cry as she read them at her wedding.



Then, 30 minutes later, she tweeted: 'I GOT HIM WITH THE BEAR SPRAY BUT HE ESCAPED.'



'8 COPS HAVE HIM & I JUST CONFIRMED ID,' she wrote minutes later.

'HE IS BEIN TAKEN AWAY IN AN AMBULANCE CUZ OF THE BEAR SPRAY I DOUSED HIM WITH,' she added.



'He escaped, but not far. The bear spray debilitated him & painted him orange so other cops picked him up within 5 minutes. GOT HIM!' Miss Yu wrote in a frenzied series of tweets.



Andy Anduha, 51, was taken in on a citizen’s arrest and later booked into the jail for attempted burglary.



As tweets from friends and neighbors poured in, she explained what happened when Anduha tried to take the package from her doorstep.



'He didn't try to attack me but he did have a knife. I was above him on the 1st floor balcony, dousing him with bear spray,' she wrote.



The bear spray is like pepper spray used for self defense, though Miss Yu said she bought it for defense against bears on camping trips.

I'm glad I read this one. I'll have to be very careful when I deliver her presents!
