So I haven't been around much for the past ... well, a long while. Been working 6 or 7 days a week, 12-16 hours a day, accumulating money to buy nice things for subhumans to steal.
Well, in the past three weeks, my house has been successfully broken into twice while I and my wife have been at work. Among the things stolen:
1 EeePC 1000HE (brand new)
1 WD MyPAssport 500GB (brand new)
1 32" LCD HDTV (brand ... you getting a trend here?)
1 Acer 15.4" laptop (yep, just like the others)
My PS2, all the games, all my DVD movies, my wife's digital camera ... etc.
But the thing I was most pissed about: a BRAND NEW Sig-Sauer 1911, stainless, with the rail, night sights, and a laser / flashlight combo on the rail.
Dumbasses came back for round 3 today.
But I'd parked the car at a friendly neighbor's house. And opened up the bedroom windows. Loaded up my Mosin M44, fixed the bayonet, and sat in the second bedroom.
About 14:30, I heard the bedroom door open, and footsteps in the hallway. I waited about 15 seconds - that should have been enough time for him to get into the living room, and he'd have had no way out - all the windows are closed and locked, and I'd set both deadbolts on the front door.
BUT the sonofa***** paused in the hallway, so when I kicked the second bedroom door open, he was still right by the master door. He turned, and -BAM- was out that window again. I called the cops, but they couldn't find him - a Mexican with a buzz-cut blends in pretty well to the scenery in California.
He was facing me when I opened the door, but couldn't get the rifle up before he turned. If he'd been slower to turn, it would have been a righteous shoot, but not in the back.
So, it was a good day ... and a bad day. Worse for him than for me, I think. Bayonets do seem to have a good intimidation factor.
