    When you see a burglar in your home on Thursday night, please check whether he has a big red sack.

    If so, please do NOT shoot him.

    Otherwise lots of little children will be very sad on Friday.

    Only rob him then? Let's hope he ain't armed to effectively self defend himself then

    I think that in the case where this thread started they did want to meet the householders...

    Anyone seen the comedy 'Otis'?

    I keep a big trident and a weighted net by the bed - Any burglars will be trussed up like turkeys and pronged before they know what hit them.
