MADISON, Wis., Oct. 17 (UPI) -- A Wisconsin woman told police that her rabbit had a lucky foot when its thumping alerted her to the presence of a burglar in her home.

The woman told police that the man ran away, escaping through the back door of her apartment, when she screamed at him, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported.

"The victim says she has a pet bunny that thumps its foot when someone is in, or around, her residence," Madison police said in a report. "And it was the thumping of the bunny's foot that woke her up, and enabled her to quickly scare off the intruder."

The man did not take anything.
