burglary. yuk
Ricardo, I am sorry to hear that. It does rock you a bit.
I hope you are able to help the police nab the guy.
It happened to us too - a few years back.
One night (in a previous house) my wife and I were asleep - just, and I heard the garage door rattle. Then saw a shadow walk past the front window.
I thought it was the cat (half asleep) making the noise, but she was at the foot of the bed.
Then I heard the side gate rattle, and started to wake up.
I walked down the hall and there in the lounge, just standing there was a big dark shape.
I SCREAMED as loud as I could (manly type of scream, though) and ran for the figure. I must have been still half asleep - cause I am small and thin, and this guy was big & stocky. Usually I would politely invite him to help himself, please don't hurt me.
Anyway - the guy nearly wet his pants, turned around and ran straight into the wall!
Then ran out the back door and VAULTED the 6 foot colorbond fence.
I lost my voice though for about a week.
So it turns out, I have a big voice when needed!
The police new the guy, he was a Big deliquent fella who lived a few streets away. He'd just got out of lockup and went on a rampage, drunk or something.
Anyway they got him the same night and that's the end of that.
Hope your grub gets caught.
