Attempted Home Invasion / Way Too Close for Comfort

[scheesman]

Wrong!

A burglar wants to sneak in, take your stuff and leave. Preferably undetected, which means he prefers to burgle when you're not home.

A home invader prefers for you to be home. They get off on terrorizing you while they take your stuff. It's a power thing. They want to see you squirm, be in pain, who knows?

I've bolded the part of your quote where you apparrently understand part of this or at least acknowledge that a burglar and home invader are different.
Robbery is what you say. Robbery means you demand money from a person. Burglary is different and slightly less immoral.

FWIW I have been robbed several times while managing pizza places.
I have NEVER been "secured" in any of them.
Again a burglar : takes stuff and prefers no contact

a robber : uses threat of force wants to take the money and run (usaully)

a home invader: wants to stick around awhile

Good points. I stand corrected...

My parents live a couple houses down from there.

My mom was home alone, and dad was on his way home from work. Police shut down both entrances to Fleener, and wouldn't let him through.

I had him come over here and pick up his judge and some ammo, hopefully that makes my mom feel better. Really scary stuff. I need to go pick up a shotgun for HD.

Again, this was way to close to home.

Hopefully it will begin a nice discussion between my wife and me.

Big, I don't live far from you either. Glad it wasn't your home. Good thing homeowner was quick acting....that could have ended badly.
Good luck with the discussion.
Couples range day?

Cygnus is correct. Burglars do not want to be detected. They will come in through the back door so to speak, or surveill the area in order to find a home that is not occupied.

Home invaders are a completely different story. They specifically target occupied homes so that they can have a "captive audience."

Practice on the "El Presidente" type drill may very well pay dividends later in your favor.
