My Grandpa always told me that there were two kinds of people that he could not stand, a liar and a thief. He said that both of them would do ANYTHING to get what they want and, in my ever so short 68 years on this earth, I have seen that he is correct. So, my take on all of this is this. If someone comes onto my property and attempts to take something that belongs to me then I CAN and I WILL do everything in my power to stop them from doing that. If I should end up in Jail for protecting MY property, then so be it but I WILL NOT stand by and watch it happen while the Wife calls the authorities. I don't think that I would even say STOP - - - why give them any warning or chance?
