Re: [OM] Catching a thief

[Gareth.J.Martin]

Dear All,
            The same thing happened here in England, a bloke called 
Tony Martin. He shot some kids who had been terrorising him in his own 
home for ages. They broke in to his house one night and he shot one in 
the back with his shotgun and killed him. He's in prison now. Not a good 
thing to try but I'm all for being safe in my own home.
Best Wishes,
Gareth.
