For once a B&E that is pretty damn hilarious.

Some thieves are weird like that. Seems odd that he would take a shower. Possible homeless person, doesn't seem like genuine criminal behaviour. Unless the guys mentally ill.
We were robbed last year, and I kid you not the only thing taken was 2 pizzas, a toaster and an old VHS player. This was last year, so you can imagine how little a VHS player was worth. They ignored my £1200 computer, expensive clothing, tv, watch, dvd player, games consoles. All these things in plain view, left alone.
There's definately a few thieves about who aren't all there in the head. Could be a crackhead
Allow me to be more clear then. If you break into my house and I catch you there YOU WILL DIE. Don't break in and the life you save will be your own

I dont get everyone whos saying things like 'he's lucky coz I woulda shot him etc' I hope these quotes are not meant to be serious because if they are then I find it quite shocking.
I don't care. He should not be there. I am not going to take the time to ask why he broke in. My Smith will do all of the talking. Find a liberal's house.
I understand when someone breaks into your house its very intrusive and I am by no means at all one of these passifist idiots who say they would never use violence under any circumstance. I even had someone set fire to my last flat with me inside so Im even more cautious than most people, but this guy is obviously not your typical burgler. Its obvious that he is scared and has a seriously deminished mental state. I no some people say you shouldnt take any chances, but there must be limits there somewhere. Especially if they are unarmed and you can aprehend the person without having to harm them.
LOL. So was the break-in.
With this guy acting out any violence would certainly be totally uncalled for.
My S&W will handle all necessary communications.
You could make it clear that if he doesnt comply he might be hurt, but this guys state of mind I doubt his ability to make rashional decisions. He certainly doesn't appear dangerous and if I had a mentally unstable family member who wandered of and found their way into a persons home, then was shot for just being in there I definately would not side with the home owner.

You cannot get into my house by accident. If you are in my home, you had to break in. If you break in, you die.
