An 83-year-old man pushed a suspected burglar off his roof in La Puente on Tuesday, capping an hours-long standoff with deputies, authorities said.
Crisis negotiators had been called to the neighborhood, where a man was jumping from rooftop to rooftop, Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials said.
The suspect was on one roof for about five hours before the elderly resident “got tired” of his antics, climbed onto the roof and pushed the man off, according to Sgt. Joseph Morales.

“I’d made up my mind. I said, ‘He’s on my roof? Whatever it takes, he’s coming off,’ ” Wilford Burgess told ABC7 after he pushed the man off his house’s roof.
Burgess said he told his neighbor he needed to borrow his ladder to get the man down.
“I’m going on that roof. That sucker’s coming down,” Burgess said.

He was about to swing on him too with that old man hay maker. I think that's when the perp realized the gig was up.

5 hour "crisis negotiation" for a dude on a resident's roof that looks about 6 feet off the freaking ground? Shaking my damn head.

This take "get off my lawn" to a whole new level.

Why was there a stand-off, exactly? None of the cops could get up there?
Posted on 9/14/17 at 10:25 am to TigerFred
I feel so wrong laughing at this. But I just can not help myself!

It took an 83 year old, unarmed man to get this guy. What kind of Police department is that?
