Some criminals don't know when to quit.

At least he had the decency to go bleed out somewhere else.

Glad this one had the guy winning. A related note, I just got a text from my wife, a couple of neighbors have told her there have been some burglaries and supposedly some armed robberies in our 'safe'town. I will be st
epping up my security even more now. You just never know

To the perp: Buh-bye

Criminals know the risks of their actions. They roll the dice every time they break into a house.

In my opinion,it is not the value of personal belongings a person is defending.None of us would want to take a life for the worth of a TV.It is instead the home,the security of the only safe place we have for our children,our family,loved ones we are protecting.It is not just an idea we are trying to protect,it is a way of life,freedom,security in your last refuge,your home.If that is given up,what is left to defend.Where can you put your loved ones down to sleep in safety.We have no choice but defend our homes as our one safe place.

All's well that ends well!

... the name of the homeowner ... is (not) being released at this time.

At around 2:40 in the afternoon, a 911 call came in from the homeowner at 4276 Canyon Ferry Road.

No prizes to who "he" at that address is.

Kudos to the citizen for terminating the threat effectively. For all of us.

You can't fix stupid. But apparently you can put it out its misery.

No disrespect, but it didn't end well. I don't give a rats behind for the dead criminal, and I am glad the homeowner and family are safe. The problem is, that even though the family is ok, that Incident is going to impact them forever. That's one thing that is so insidious about crime, and there isn't any way to protect ones self from the aftermath that crime leaves behind. So relatively speaking it ended well in that they are safe; but I feel badly for them that some jerk off impacted their lives the way he did.

I love it when the story ends with the BG getting what he deserves! He won't be bothering anyone else ever again.

While agree with most of what you're saying, I'd like to add something.

The worth of our personal belongings is much more than the money we pay for them. For those of us who earn our money (which I would guess is most folks on this forum), those possessions represent a great deal of time spent away from our loved ones while we were out making a living. Time and effort we traded in return for the opportunity to better our lives and that of people we love.

Physical objects can be replaced, but our time and effort can never be returned, and are certainly worth fighting for.

I believe the part that's failing to register for some unknown reason is the fact that if you take one between the headlights you don't get an aw shucks and a do-over.

It's O-V-E-R!!

I agree wholeheartedly. I don't work 40 hours a week to buy stuff for other people! They take enough of my check for others anyway, the part I get to spend, I spend for my family. Not for some dirtbag to take. I invested too much of my LIFE working for my stuff to let someone walk off with it. Stuff lost in accidents or acts of nature aren't worth crying over, it's just stuff and stuff happens, but I'll be darned if I'm gonna let someone STEAL my stuff cos that can be prevented!
