A very brave little 10-year-old girl confronted a would-be robber who sauntered up to her house in broad daylight.
The entire scene was caught on “Ring” video. The little girl was in the family car waiting for her parents to come out of the house when the man, who was walking by spotted something and mosied up the driveway like he owned the place.
The little girl, brave as can be, bolted out of the car, confronted the man, and he ran off, scared.
A brave 10-year-old girl scared away a man who may have been trying to burglarize her home, video footage from her family’s Ring camera shows.
Lola Letourneau was sitting in her family’s SUV at their Bakersfield home around 4 p.m. Thursday, helping her mom by starting the car and turning on the air conditioning, when she saw a stranger approach the home, KERO reported.
All of a sudden, Lola is seen darting out of the car in front of the man, yelling, “Get out of here!” — and then screaming — spooking him, the video shows.
The man runs away as Lola makes a beeline for her house.
“I just knew I needed to tell him to leave,” Lola told the outlet. “So I just thought of a bunch of words to like tell him to go away.”
Lola’s mother, Jordan Pendley, called her daughter “very brave.”
“I am so surprised,” Pendley told KFSN. “She was pretty shook up, I felt pretty bad for her. She was really scared, but that was such a bold move of her.”

I think about how badly this could have turned out, so I am happy that she’s okay.
Next time, lock the doors to the car and lay on the horn, brave little warrior!
