A big knife is a scary and dangerous weapon.  But if you want to frighten the intruders away, you need to use a scary and dangerous weapon.  Not much point in waving a fly swatter or a feather duster at them, as the likelihood that they will fall over and die laughing is very small.

I don't do "brave" - never have - but in the same circumstances, from the safety of my double-locked, double-glazed house, I too would endeavour to divert the intruders.  Realistically, the law ain't going to turn up in time to have any useful effect, unless they happen to be outside you front door when you call 999.

She should have let tem break in, then just tell the police it was that time of the month, and that she was sorry and promice not to do it again.   


(Far too much time listening to STMO  :-/ )

That is the very reason we will NEVER call the old bill if we catch someone breaking in, much less hardship (and less of a burden to the otherwise law abiding taxpayer) to rectify the problem "in house".

About the only line that needs adding to that snippet of news if that you are going to threaten a burglar/mugger/whatever with a weapon (although threats are daft because it simply forewarns).....make sure you....

1. Know how to use it.
2. Don't hesitate to use it.

how true-years ago we used to get a load of trouble from the underage scrotes who used the local pub, it got so bad at some points me and the feller next door used to sit up with baseball bats. I understand the logistical problems of getting police response quickly and, trust me, we had gone down the "correct" routes first but we'd got thoroughly p*ssed off of the constant noise, vandalism, threats etc. with the sympathetic coppers turning up far too late .Amazing how quick they can get to you when you inform them that youre holding one of the little f**cks (citizens arrest?)and that as he isnt taking this too well you are about to kick several tons of the brown stuff out of him though...
