Burglary foiled with Mosin Nagant!

[Peter.Steele]

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.

Wow, Hopefully they won't be back

zomg..harsh story. Does insurance come up for the stolen goods ?

[Rak]

Oh man that really sucks

It's unbelievable how much they did steal. Do you have alarm systems and such?

Shoot them in the knee next time, they really deserved it

Sucks to hear you've been broken into so much. Now that this fellow knows that you ain't playing around, hopefully they won't come back.


Someone needs to make some 7.62x54R dum-dums or hydrashocks especially for 'capping home invaders.

100% stress man...

Do you reckon it was the same guy that came back again and again?
