I'm serious. We think they (there were two) watched our
house while we were away. When we got back on Friday, we
we tired, so we were asleep by 8:30 pm. At 8:45 I heard
them walking on the gras outside. We'd been listening to
animal sounds at night for a week, so I was quite 'tuned'
in to funny noises.

They started testing the windows, and by the time he got
to our bedroom window, I was waiting for the bastard. He
opened the window and was merrily making his way into the
house when I helped him out again with the help of my friend
Mr .38 Special. I got him in the shoulder only, but I don't
think they'll be back soon...
