What I couldn't believe was the response. Rather, the number of people saying that the homeowner had an 'obligation' not to enter his house- thereby provoking a confrontation- and that he should have locked himself in his vehicle and called the police. That got shouted down pretty quickly- this is Montana, after all- but I think we have let to many Californians move here.
Yeah that's a tough one. Legally I don't know, but a burglar will never get sympathy from me.
Yeah, pieces today were washed ashore of what appears to be a suspected town burglar. Police have no leads to go on.
