Didn't have time to read all the replys, but good for you on stopping the theives....btw, hearing a pump shotgun rack a shell into the chamber is one of the scariest sounds a burglar/thief can hear...means he's in big trouble..
On that note, a quick joke
A guy decides to burglarize a rich mans house while the rich guy is away. So he breaks in there at night, and starts picking up various items to put in a bag that he's going to carry them out in..suddenly he hears a voice say "Jesus is watching you!", he stops for a second, then turns on the light. There in a cage, is a parrot. He looks at the parrot and says "Did you just say that Jesus was watching me?". "Yes I did", the parrot replies. "So, does Polly want a cracker?", asks the burglar. "My name is not Polly, its Moses", the parrot says.
"What kind of IDIOT would name a parrot Moses?", asks the burglar
The parrots reply>"The same kind of idiot that would name a rottwieler JESUS"
