For all those who have commented on a recent thread that the police are often not on the way anywhere important I was dam gald they got there quickly last night when I left my wife and new born baby upstairs to investigate a noise to find some chap downstairs (who had entered through a window) trying to find a way to let his two mates who were waiting round the back of the house in. 2 marked cars, 2 unmarked cars and about 12 officers arrived within 2 minutes of making the 999 call. Thanks guys.

How completely f*cking terrifying... I'm glad the BiB did get there quick, stuff like thatmakes you want to move in next door to a copshop. Stuff of nightmares. Glad you, wife and little'un are OK.Certainly was scary. It's the second time I've heard a noise, gone down stairs to prove to myself that there is no one there and then had the moment of realisation when you realise that there actually is someone in the room with you. It's not nice at all.
My wife is very upset. I had to ring my parents this morning and ask them to drive down from North Yorkshire early this morning so that she wouldn't have to be alone at any point today such is the state she is in. I also know that she won't sleep for ages now. However could have been much much worse.

Has wife got friends locally... or friendly neighbours? I used to get v spooked at being at home on my own when I was younger so I used to go out to museums/art gallery during the day and then meet my dad and travel home together, that might work for your missus too. Police may be able to help with installing a care-alarm panic button system, too - I've got one. If you get spooked you press the button, it rings the callcentre who listen and a) talk to you to see if you're OK or b) call the police, depending on what they can hear.

Take up clay pidgeon shooting. It's a real good sport, lots of fun and helps to build up accuracy with a shotgun.
These shotguns require regular cleaning to maintain them. Who knows - perhaps next time Mr Intruder will come face to face with Mr Shotgun. That puts the ball in your court - he makes a move, blow him to kingdom come.
After all, you were just cleaning it at the time and when they burst into your home shouting the odds; the gun was the first thing to hand to defend yourself with. You were in serious fear of your life due to them looking like [insert usual terrorist/nutter description here] and you thought they had a gun and were going to use it.
Remember lethal force is perfectly acceptable form of defence, provided you can justify it.
Don't think "Tony Martin" here, for that was completely different (he shot a kid in the back as he was running away. Therefore, murder, not self defence).
