Madison Heights, MI – I want Carole Penzabene and her girlfriend Kelly Templeton to move in next door to me. Penzabene, 41 and a dialysis patient, went above and beyond the good neighbor call on Wednesday night when two robbers entered her next-door neighbor’s home. Penzabene was looking out her living room window and saw two people going in and out of the the neighbor’s house.
“He was carrying a garbage can, and I thought, that’s weird, garbage day isn’t till Monday,” Penzabene said. Then she saw a young man carrying out duffel bags and putting them in the trunk of the car, and Carole Penzabene wasn’t waiting any longer. While Kelly Templeton called police, Penzabene ran over to the neighbor’s house and apprehended the criminals herself.
A Detroit News 4 video got Penzabene demonstrating how she grabbed the twenty-year-old male burglar by his collar and prepared to punch him in the face. He started crying like a little bitch, though, so Penzabene chose not to rain down the wrath of justice on him. While she has holding the male, the 18-year-old female suspect came walking out of the house, so Penzabene grabbed her too, pinning the couple to the ground while waiting for police to arrive.
Police told Penzabene she was “crazy, but a good neighbor.” The two unnamed suspects were arraigned FridayFriday reviews
on breaking and entering and home invasion charges. When a reporter asked Penzabene why she risked her own safety to apprehend the robbers, Penzabene smiled and said, “Because he’s my neighbor and he would have done the same thing to me, I believe.”

Yay! Dialysis Woman to the rescue! A terrific deed, but lucky they weren’t meth heads who’d stab you for a nickel. Still, brave as all get up. I applaud Carole Penzabene, a dyke with spunk, and whose name sounds like a prescription medication.

Wow… dyke and spunk… two words I never thought I would see together. Maybe Bi and spunk….
Anyway I digress

Hehhh. Her name does kinda sound like its own class of drugs. Maybe they should make a new class of adrenaline booster, call ‘em penzabenes.

This was a comment on a local message board which helps explain the whole story, including how she could hold on to both people!
“this happened at my grandfathers house. thank god for the neighbor Carole. My grandpa has been staying in Vagas. It was my brothers friends that new about the money in the house. The couple themselves are extremely skinny, anyone could take them down. They are addicted to heroin. We never thought they would do something like this to us. It was my brothers best friend, the family is very hurt.”

The guy started ‘crying like a little bitch’, huh? He needs to find another day job, because he sucks at robbing people. Maybe he could be a professional mourner at funerals for people nobody likes.

OMFG I love this story! Right on, Carol. Woman you fucking ROCK!

Or a car oil. ‘Penzabine: a lubricant that really packs a wallop [just ask the neighbours].’
I didn’t say it would make sense – it’s advertising!
