 Rob Wegman, 55, whose dog began barking and woke him up. Wegman grabbed his shotgun and walked into his garage; one intruder tried to hold the door to stop him, but he forced his way through, ordered the two on their knees, and held them there for police.

 Shotgun

Source(s):

Wegman told the two burglars while waiting for police, "I worked for everything I have, all my life. I worked day and night for many years. Why don't you try getting a job?"

Wegman had his garage broken into three weeks before and had $4,000 worth of equipment stolen. Apparently, Linson admitted to that burglary as well, promising to return everything.
