Quickie update:
Looks like the dude is currently booked on felony charges (which means he must have done a lot of damage to those poor neighbors, eh?

), so he'll be in jail *at least* overnight, longer if he can't make the $50,000 bail. Since he was already out on bail for last night's misdemeanor offence (beating up the grandma and wrecking her house), I don't even know if he would even be considered eligible by the bail bond cos.
She's actually been talking to the jailer about him being kept there, so she appears to be getting the info from the horses mouth, as it were.
Thanks for your input and well wishes guys, I really appreciate that I can lean on you guys a little during tough times like this.

I do rather like the last one!!
Oh and smooth, I can't yet find a good picture of my window track lock (may take some of my pwn shots of my locks), but it's basically a U-shaped piece of steel with a thumbscrew that goes through one side. So you place the U over the track rails that stick up, and screw down the thumbscrew wedging it against the track. Cheap, easy, and you'll knock the window frame out before you unwedge it.
