91 year old Minnie Jane Carter says she was taking a nap when she was startled to find a hand in her pocket, and it wasn't hers.  It belonged to a total stranger standing over her as she was in bed.  Minnie says she believes the woman was looking for money, but the fighting grandma wasn't going to let her get away.  Minnie fought with the woman from her bedroom to the living room.  She says she was never scared, she just knew she had to act fast.  The woman eventually ran out the door, but she wouldn't get away.  After calling the police, Minnie says authorities were able to catch the thief.
