Two Old Ladies Take Down Carjacking Gang

When alleged gang members targeted their Honda CR-V one October evening, two Milwaukee retirees sprang into action. Now the couple is credited with helping police nab a crew of suspected carjackers.

But as they drove to the valet parking stand, they soon learned a band of wanted car thieves was right behind them. Ben-Shalom, 68, told cops she was fetching Weiss’s walker from the trunk when she spotted the valet attendant on the ground, struggling to push a teenage attacker off him.

So the Army veteran and renowned lesbian activist tackled the alleged thief, 50 years her junior, and pinned him to the pavement.

“I stood up and put the toe of my boot in a socially significant place,” Ben-Shalom told The Daily Beast. “I told him if he tried to move or do anything, he would walk very funny for the rest of his life and pee through a tube.
