My dads house got robbed last night, nearly. My dad was downstairs asleep watching the golf, my stepmum brother and sister were all upstairs asleep in their bedrooms. 2am my stepmum wakes up from a noise in the bedroom and in the darkness sees a figure crouched by the window. Thinking its my dad she asks 'Are you ok John?' wondering why hes on the floor. The guy stands up and says 'No its ok love, go back to sleep, Im just waiting for John' So she starts screaming, jumps up an legs it downstairs. My dad wakes up and my stepbrother from the screaming. My dad runs up the stairs and my stepbrother out of his room and the robber meet at the same point. My dad gets his arm behind his back and pins him up against the wall. My dad, calm as you like says to him 'Thats not yours is it?' And takes out of this guys hands my dads work uniform, in it are my stepsisters laptop which he took out of her room, cigarettes from the kitchen, my grandads gold watch from my dads bedroom, and some of my stepmums jewellery which he was going through when she woke up. So the police took him away and came back a bit later. Apparently they had to take the lad to hospital because he told them he'd taken a load of pills or something... Anyway have you ever been burgled or nearly burgled?
