So I sort of had an intruder in my house/property...
I woke up about 3am. I am very sensitive to my surroundings. I heard someone jump the fence and start walking around my house, likely searching for unlocked windows.
I immediately retrieved my sidearm, left all the lights off (I can navigate my house in the dark without running into anything, doubt he could), took a central position with cover, and waited. I can hear extremely well. He went around the house and checked everything I think, then took off. All I ever saw was a shadowy figure for a brief instant through the sliding glass door.
I didn't bother calling the cops, as he'd be long gone. I decided not to, ahem, track him outside and take him out because, well that might go badly with the cops.
How do you think I behaved? Did I do well? Should I have gone outside to confront him? Should I have called the cops?
PS my frickin dog slept through all of it. Stupid dog. heh.
