there is a fine line between a thief (when he is in the home alone)
and a thief when he is confronted with the home owner.
if he remains the kind and jovial benevolent thief and flees, he can tell the story to his pals I guess and hopefully I can give Police enough info and maybe he is caught.
if he does not flee then he is staying for other reasons.
Woe is me and mine if I act too slowly or think about getting him
home safely. If he has broken in, then he has already done some harm
and most bets are off.
I didn't say ALL bets are off. If he sees the barrels and runs, ok
if not, he can stand there and wait for cops. Not running or not standing still
equals possibly doing us in. that equals one would be wise to stop the threat.
