Denied the pleasure of beating up a couple of burglars
I did think of that, but mobile phones are crap for taking photos in the dark, and with the light on there was too much glare from the patio door glass. Besides as soon as I put the light on they were on their toes before I could out manouver them.
A mate has a camera with a flash brighter than the sun. It blinds everyone for a few minutes when he takes photos on a night out. Even the strangers lurking in the background. Will have to find out what model it is, that'll do the trick.

Always best to come down the stairs with CS gas, gasmask........and big fat bat...........the shock on their faces.........no more nicking for them.
Did this not strike you as slightly odd behaviour? Did the occupants of the house ask if you'd had a nice day at the office?
I work from home office, it was during the day, the house was unoccupied.
You are right though - not sure what I would have said if confronted. I'm wondering if they would have come out the door and pretended they didn't live there or something!
But I trust my gut instinct.
If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

I've decided to park it on my neighbour's drive, seeing as they haven't moved in yet and don't look like doing anytime soon. Been empty for nearly two years and it's a newish house not some derelict wreck.
I'll pop a letter through their door apologising for any damage in advance.
The measures I have to take to get a bit of undisturbed shut eye.

Have some fun and ask them what the hell they are doing in your house.
