Delfina Podrovitz has lived on 3100 block of South 2nd for about a year. She never thought something like this would happen to her.
I woke up because I heard banging. I looked around and some TV's were gone," Podrovitz said.
She was confronted by a robber that was standing in her living room.
"So I told him, what are you doing? He said you've got to get out of here. There going to call the cops. I said it's my house, I'm going to call the cops," Podrovitz said.
Not knowing what to do, she picked up a baseball bat and hit the robber across the back.
"He fell to the floor, then politely got off his knees and walked outside," Podrovitz said.
The robber made off with one of her TV's and was in the process of trying to get the second one out the door.
"I was so close to the guy. I'm telling you, I could point him out," Podrovitz said.
While she says she wasn't scared while the robbery was happening, she is worried it will happen again.
"Terrified, I can't really sleep at night. I went to bed last night around 2 am and didn't fall a sleep till 5 am. Every time I heard something, it would freak me out," Podrovitz said.
While Delfina did a lot to stop the robber, she still thinks she could have done more.
"Once I hit him, I could have hit him again. I could have done more to keep him here," Podrovitz said.
