As a teen my dad's house was broken into and they stole my Sega Genesis. That sucked.

Almost two years to the day later dad's house was broken into again, but dad came home and walked in on the robbery in progress. Saw the burgler standing in the kitchen and bum-rushed him, picked him up by the neck and pinned him to the wall so hard it knocked the dude out. Dad dialed 911 with his free hand.

My dad was a hard core military trained ex-MP bad ass.

It's great when you hear these stories. But, common sense will tell you the safest thing to do is when you see your door or window broken is to get on your cell and call the police. Even common thieves will carry guns these days and a simple burglary could turn into a homicide too quickly.
Play it safe.

I lived with my brother about 15 years ago. I took the basement room so him and his daughter could have the two bedrooms. Anyway, woke up one night and started walking upstairs. No idea why. When i got to the door, I looked into the kitchen and there was a leg hanging in the window. They heard me because that leg turned statue. I kinda froze too. It was surreal. I came to my senses and said "Hey!", and started for the window. Figured I weighed a solid two hun, and his foot was dangling about three feet off the ground, maybe I jump, latch onto his leg and just drop to the ground.

I didn't get half a step in his direction and it was like lightning. He was running down the street. I started laughing because there's no way I'm catching anyone with a head start.

You play it safe - I'll take whatever actions I deem necessary for the safety of me and my family. If the guy is in the house at the same time we are, that's not calling the cops, that's eliminating the threat and then calling the cops and waiting the minutes for them to arrive.

Talking tough on the 'puter looks great. But, in the real world you wouldn't be stupid enough to advertise what violent actions you might take in a confrontation. The internet never forgets! You could end up on the wrong side of the law. I wouldn't trust a jury.

Some dumb shit tried siphoning gas from my vehicle in my garage once. I walked out with an old broad sword on my shoulder. Dude ran like a scalded dog. It took all of 10 minutes for the cops to get him since there aren't too many rusted out s10s with dear antlers tied to what's left of the front grill around Hilliard. Kid shit his pants and got arrested. Happy ending.

:lol:

sure thing Taos...whatever you say. Go be afraid of some nebulous jury actions somewhere else, I'll take care of what is in my power to do so. No one threatened or advertised any violence, get some reading comprehension skills already. :roll1:

I had a drunk trying to knock down my door one night when I still lived in Springfield. He basically broke through the door, but as he was doing so, I had enough time to get the rifle out, fix the bayonet and station myself in front of what was the door on the bottom 3 steps of our staircase (the door itself was still standing but had a huge crack in the middle of it)...once what was left of the door was opened he was facing a rifle with bayonet pointed at his throat and me telling him he'd better stop now. He sobered up right fast as we waited for the cops. I honestly believe he thought he was at his own home (he was that smashed) and he wasn't violent after that, but I didn't let my guard down. The best part is I wanted to replace the door anyway, and this gave me the excuse to do so :biggrin:

I have a different break in story... 2:30 and all hell breaks lose... I get downstairs and someone wants to get in the deck door but critters won't let them... someone I had never seen before.. it's an absolutely stunning gal.. drunk to beat hell... looking for my son because she knows she shouldn't drive and he'd help

BTW I didn't shoot her or beat her up or call the cops... that's how I roll

When I was about 14..
It's about 2am, I was asleep on the couch. Our two dogs in the garage start growling and wake me up. I go out and they're looking at the back door. I look out the window and see three shadows about 50 yards away, walking toward our yard, through our yard, and then toward the neighbor's house. Big James Bond fan at the time, so I sneak out and start darting from tree to tree to see where they're going. In a zone, all of the years of capture the flag are paying off. I think I even threw in a few good spin moves as I broke away from one tree for another. Finally I realize where they're heading... my best friend lived a few houses down from mine and he has a shed with a dirt bike and other things that had been broken into before. I could go back and call the cops and/or my friend's house.. F that, we're getting these guys ourselves. I back track a bit to give me an angle to his bedroom window without being seen. Get there and knock on his window, nothing... Try it again a little louder, 10 seconds later his older brother comes running out in his whitey tighties, a loaded shot gun, and a chew in his lip. "Who the fuck.. Slim, what the hell are you doin.." The moment was gone. Dudes hear him and are gone -- at leat they didn't get a chance to steal anything. Looking back, his brother coming out might have saved my friend and I's lives. Sure seemed like the perfect plan to me at the time though.
