I get home from work and push open my front door and felt a bump when I did. A wine bottle was sitting in front of the door and fell over spilling a very nice Cabernet all over my carpet. WTF?
I then notice mail and a few other things strewn all over my floor. I go straight to my hiding place and grab my .45 and tactical light. I did a sweep of the house and find it's all clear. I then start an inventory and can find nothing else out of place or missing. Plasmas are all here, petty cash has'nt been touched, weapons accounted for, all is as it should be except for the wine bottle and mail.
Looks like some kids have discovered my place in the woods. I'd hate to have to kill them as they enter the house again, but I will.

Never had a need to before today. In fact I've spent many a night with the doors and windows wide open while I sleep.
Let me show you my nightlight...

Mac,
Nobody's coming for your velvet Elvis, or Dogs playing poker prints. You're good to go.

You have to give me credit here... half of my family are Okies, the other half are from New Mexico. I'm the only native Texan in the bunch, so I have a lot of shame to make up for.

Man, I'm glad to hear you are ok, glad they didn't take anything of significance, and glad they weren't there when you got home. They might have been between you and the gun.
I hope it was just kids looking for some kicks as opposed to kids with bad intent, know what I mean?
-
Yeah, I do. Unfortunately, I've seen this play out before. Young kids find an unattended house. They brag about the party they had at my expense and word gets around. Sooner or later older methhead kids hear about it and decide to make a withdrawal from my property for their benefit. You know, Robin Hood...
I had this problem about 15 years ago when I lived on the highway. I had a methhead that studied my work patterns and nearly cleaned me out until I offered enough reward that one of his best buds narc'ed on him. Now I'm out of sight, out of mind a long way from the highway. I've had zero problems until this happened.
I'd really hate to kill a kid (heck, 20 year olds are kids to me now) for entering my home uninvited while I am inside under the cover of darkness with my .45 full of EagleClaws, but I tend to shoot first and say "Hello?" second. I'm funny that way. Must be a character flaw.
Methamphetemine is a powerful drug. A Ruger P90DC is a reasonable countermeasure.

yup.
but shoot em in the bellybutton first.
nobody likes having to say that they got shot in the ass. it's the only shot that is less cool than the fact of being shot itself.

No need to kill them. You could do version of Blairwitch or one of those teenage slasher movies. You know, the crazy man in the woods with a chainsaw and hockey mask. After a few hours of therapy. You can either hand them over to the cops or let them go. You can be sure they would be rehabilitated after that experience :rofl

I'm surprised there isn't some really low-rent trashy drink called "The Velvet Elvis".
What the hell would be in it? MD-20/20 and O.E. 800?
-
Ya know you just might be onto something here!
:aok
Maybe NightTrain and Grapefruit juice?

Velvet Elvis
Chambord
¾ oz Chambord
2 oz Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey

RPM get a low-end burglar alarm---nothin fancy, just do the doors. (If you go wireless, the company will slap it in in 2-3 hours)It's so rare that burglars come in the window that it's statistically insignificant--(and if they DO come in window, first thing the dipsticks do is open the door) It doesn't STOP them from breaking in, but it limits them to about 46 seconds inside (assuming 45 second delay;) The real cost that comes from such things isnt your stereo or tv, it's these effing punks spending HOURS in your house trashing it. They don't know for sure if the cops are coming, but that possibility in the back of their head, and the frightful noise makes em get out of your house

bj229r :rofl You know that is true and funny as heck when you think about it. I know i've forgotten my house keys at work, so i go over jimmy one of my windows and i'm in the house. But the one time someone tried to get in my house they tried to bust open my front door! I fear for the intelligence of our criminals....errr youth. :lol

Lol been in this industry for 25 years, residential burglars are not terribly bright---crackheads will break into house next door, then leave stolen items laying about. (Ya can't pay me enough to go into someone's house--I reached that point back in 80's)

Ya know, I've got an old Radio Shack Burgler Alarm with 2 remote motion sensors packed away from when I owned a store. It will dial out on landline when it goes off. That's it's only flaw, but it worked great until I switched to ADP.
Thanks for reminding me about it. :aok

If by flaw ya meant dial out over land line, a few companies make a nice cell-backup unit, but you'd have to hire a company to put it in, sign contract, etc, and they prolly won't want to tie into anything that came from Radio Shack; (Modern low-end control panel costs us about $40.00) Ademco makes one that can send specific stuff to your cell phone, like a text message

Why don't you use the 45 for a night light instead of the 9mm ?
