I confronted a burgler about 2 years ago.. it was around 2am and I was on the PC in the front room...I heard something in my kitchen and went to look and found a man (maybe teenage) half way through the window! he was was coming in head first (halfway in or halfway out).. I suppose I felt a mixture of fear and anger.. anyway the first thing to hand was a plastic broom (very light) by my kitchen door, to swing it and hit him with it would not have done much damage so I sort of prodded him back out of my window, shouting abuse at him.
I consider myself lucky, I dread to think what could have happend if this bloke had been fully in, a kitchen is full of knives and stuff and he might have got to them before me!
