Trouble is, with our current CPS, if she killed an attacker, in her very own bedroom, the chances are she is the one who would be charged with murder by using disproportionate force in her defensive action !!

If she was "charged with murder " the CPS should be put in the cell to do the sentence .
we need to deter scum from stealing and worse being in someone's bedroom ,or house for that matter 
we need tough sentences ,hard labour and capital punishment
the CPS are too soft

Only if they found a body No evidence = no crime...

Take you a while to eat a burglar, though. Unless you had a big dog. But he'd probably eat the burglar before he made it to the bedroom.

I read the title wrong, no comment.

Answered None, as nobody ever managed to drive any away. But had several attempted thefts when I lived in a rough area of Aylesbury.  When I had my Astra GTE, it was a monthly occurance

Nope, not necessarily.  Convictions for murder have been made without a body in the past, although it is hard for the prosecution to do.  However, with modern forensics it is getting easier, and is more advanced than the "circumstantial" accepted before in such cases.

Agreed!

Plus stealing an Omega should be a hanging offence

The problem is actually proving that said individual ever entered a given property... Good luck with that.

Yes receipts have now been supplied clearly showing their first offer just wasn't in the ball park let alone price paid ,which actually was under market value...so expecting them to atleast pay back the purchase price.

All house locks have now been replaced at their expense so can see this costing them a fair bit

Which is exactly the opposite of what plod told a neighbour who had their house broken into in the small hours looking for the keys for his almost brand new S Class Merc. He had actually taken the upstairs with him, but would you really want some scum screaming at you stood next to your bed demanding car keys from you while you stare bleary eyed at him?

no, good point

However, the usual method of theft of new/newly new top of the range vehicles is to now use scanners to unlock the vehicle and allow the engine to be started, so the thieves do not have the bother, and risk, of entering the property. The 'old fashioned' thrieves are now usually the ones who break into the home, but to steal far more than a less than top of the range vehicle, going for everything their greedy little hands can be laid on of any value.

Keeping the car keys/handbag (which will often contain everything the thief wants) in sight of the front door is a great temptation to an opportunist thief, and if it can be reached through the letterbox - wey hay, it is Christmas!!

In short, if you own valuable items, like a E Class Merc parked on the drive to confirm "you are loaded" you are always going to be a target. If the thief wants a bit of what you have got, and you do not want to risk your families lives, then just make it very easy for them to take the car by leaving the keys on show - if they use scanners then they will be gone with the car within 30 seconds anyway!

That is my take on it anyway
