Lesniak tells The Star-Ledger of Newark that he was woken up by noise and saw two men standing just feet from his bed.
The Union County Democrat tells the newspaper that the men seemed surprised to find anyone at home, and one suggested they shoot him, though Lesniak did not see a gun.
The 62-year-old Lesniak says the men took cash, a cellular phone and the keys to his Lexus hybrid, which they left untouched in his garage.
Police are calling the home invasion "highly unusual" for the normally tranquil area near Kean University. They say the men, who are still at large, broke in through a basement window.
