OMG! Rhi, don't let that happen. if cops can't help. call another set

of

cops
or, have some GOOD neighbors over to your place, or maybe get a guard

dog.

that would scare the living ***** out of me, if anyone tried to do

thats beyond
just creepy, its very threatening and yeah, illegal
if he comes back you could:
yell "honey, get the shotgun from the shelf and load it NOW, that

creepy

intruder is back!"
that might only work once.

ASD, brainstorm some defence techniques for Rhi.

Rhi, stay safe from creepy scary bastards!

Thanks aaron. Obtaining a gun in Canada would mean buying it illegally.

I

could legally own a handgun for use at a firing range or a rifle for use
during hunting season, however if said weapon is then used on a person,

could end up in trouble. Though the laws seem to be relaxing somewhat.
Recently, a 15 year old boy shot and killed an intruder with a hunting

rifle

when he caught the man trying to strangle his father to death in their

home

and no charges were laid. I don't really want to shoot anyone. I just

want

this guy to go away and leave me alone. I do have a very large and very
sharp knife which I am prepared to take my chances with if forced to. I
have a dog. A fearless little Jack Russell with a *very* nasty bite.

could do quite a bit of damage in the right set of circumstances. I

seen people who lost entire fingers and toes to a Jack. If luck were on

her

side and she gained the advantage by getting at the face, the intruder

would

need an ambulance, but she is only 25lbs, so a grown man "standing",

a

hard, well placed kick, could probably put her down. Mind you, she has

to tag team with, and at this point I am way more angry than I am

actually, I didn't mean you should get a gun of any kind, I just meant,
*pretend* you have a gun
and say to your man "honey get the gun, that creepy dude is back" but
maybe you already knew
that. I don't really like guns. although to protect a family or yourself,
it might be worth it. I would
also concider owning a medium to large (not giant) guard dog of at least

lbs, like German Shepherd
Doberman Pincher, or something along those lines. if you can afford it,

if this becomes a regular
nusance/problem. as fearless as your Jack Russell is, i'm afraid she
wouldn't stand a chance against
a determined intruder, as you said. you could also buy some inexpensive
"Beware Of Dog" signs.
and "No Trsepassing" signs to hang on your place, outside, on the windows,
etc. and maybe something
like "This Residence Is under 24 hour police protection via closed circuit
camera" Radio Shack sells
these $25 fake CC cameras that really look like a real surveillance

Knives are good I guess,
as a last-ditch defence. but even 180+ lb man holding a knife to defend
himself can be overpowered
by someone who is determined. worse thing that can happen, is the knife

taken away from you and
used against you........... I guess though you are more pissed/annoyed

scared. anyway........
do what you gotta do to protect yourself and your family! I used to
never lock the doors at
night, out here in the suburbs were its really very safe, but now I do,
because even out here, people's homes
are being broken into, people killed, or worse.

hoping / praying for your safety and well-being. later!
