Barbara Donovan said while they were in the basement with the man, who was looking at their electric circuit panel, she heard squeaking floorboards upstairs realized something wasn’t right. When the couple reached the main floor, they found two other men inside, one holding a pillowcase from their bedroom. Dan Donovan began trying to chase the three men from their house, and that’s when he grabbed his grandfather’s shillelagh — an antique Irish walking stick propped in the corner of the couple’s dining room. “Hopefully they got nothing more than a headache and hopefully they pursue another occupation,” he said.
