I know you already have your poison-tipped bamboo dart mantraps dug all round the house. ;-)2 -
Is one of the dogs called Bailey?Wheresmeticket? said:Yeh, my next door neighbour has two big german shepherds that he keeps because he is paranoid about intruders. As he also works nights I get woken up by the fuckers barking in the early hours.
Ignorant twat he is. Although I enjoy waiting until I know he has gone to bed and then whacking my stereo on nice and loud.11 -
Whenever this subject came up in the past I always came over all macho and said I'd take down anyone who dared to enter my house etc but now that I have a wife and 2 small kids in the house my preferred scenario (other than never having an intruder in the first place) is to scare them off as soon as possible and preferably before they even get in the house. Turn the lights on, make some noise, loudly call the Police on the phone etc.
Opening the door and taking them on is just not an option for a 40-something shortarse fat bloke.2 -
The law appears to be on the side of the perpetrator:

No it doesn't. Chasing after someone, catching them, and continually beating them with a bat so they have brain damage is not self defence, it's anger and revenge. Whether the perpetrator deserved it or not is a different subject and irrelevant in law.Jayajosh said:The law appears to be on the side of the perpetrator:

To be frank it does sound like what some on here would like to do though!DRAddick said:
