What would you do if you found a thief in your house?

An air rifle would be useful in various situations depending (as I said before) on the layout of your house. It would be ideal if you could shoot them as they came towards you and then smash them around the face with the rifle itself.

Again, whether I would be able to do this is complete speculation but the idea is there at least :p

They might not be afraid of dogs, but they would be deterred by one.

A barking dog attracts attention, such as waking up owners or neighbours.

you've not met one of mine with a cob on yet have you?
American bulls are fiercely loyal to one person, take Issy for example, my bitch, but adored her Daddy, would sit and love and chat with him, but he only had to raise his voice and she would come up into 'stand', and I could send all 48 kilos airbourne in full attack with just one word, on her own Daddy. No fear, built to protect, and, to coin an expression, would take a grenade for me.

You could always affix a bayonet.......;)
 
I'd stand at the top of the stairs holding a sex toy, with a massive grin on my face. Then when he sees me. I'll just wink and run at him. xD
 
Honestly If i was living on my own with no family. I would have put up some sort of fight. But I have kids and a wife to think of and tbh I would Just guard the top of the stairs to make sure no1 goes near them and phone the police. People may call me a wimp but family comes first.
 
It totally depends on how angry i'd get. Probably pretty angry. Keep a small baseball bat and a maglite torch near the bed for such a occurrence. Although a previous posters idea of just making sure they didn't come upstairs while getting the wife on the phone to the police is probably a pretty fair idea.
 
Seems i had a theif in my house last night.......one of my "mates" infact, spent at least 6 hours looking for car keys today after a party (albeit small, 10 people or so) and they are no where to be seen, thinking someone stole them to come back for the car at a later date ¬_¬ We all suspect the same guy but have no proof.

Going to setup CCTV overlooking the drive way tomorrow and see if we can catch anyone IF the keys have been stolen that is, as we've literally looked in every possible location in the house, even in the fridge!

If someone broke into my house I would eat them. NOM NOM NOM!

Realistically, i would set the alarm off or if they were upstairs i would get fthe maglite out and take out their knees and tie their hands and feet with cable ties.
I am not particularly "hench" so immobilising them would always be my priority. Then i would call the police.
 
When I lived in Canada I came home to discover that someone had broken into my house through the back sliding door.

His problem was that was the way I had just come in and all other exits from the house were blocked.

TBH I kicked ten bails of **** out of him then called the police.

When the RCMP arrived they asked me what happened and I told them that he tried to make a run for it and tripped down the stairs.

Copper gave me a bit of a funny look, I know he knew otherwise, and said ok then arrested him and left.

And other than the fact I was informed the kid got jail time for a string of robberies in the area that's the last I ever heard of it.

Now this was early 90's so things were a bit more laid back in those types of things
 
I should imagine the experience would be terrifying, but after he got over the shock of seeing my missus in the middle of the night, I very much doubt he would return!! :)
