Some dude tried to break into my house (not so much my house, as my parents house in which I reside), and was scared off by me. I may possibly be the least scary guy anyone has ever met. I'm a tall, skinny fellow with a rather pleasant disposition, yet a man much larger than I turned tail when he broke the back door window and entered the house. I emerged to see what the commotion was all about (I thought it was the cat breaking things), and saw a dude in the house and I just sort of looked at him and he yelled "hey!" and ran away. Well, that's my story, I'm waiting for the regina police department's csi dudes to show up and gather up some evidence.
Bovine out!

Don't you have RPG turrets set up in your kitchen? Oh well, if the robber had had enough cash on him it may not have mattered anyway...

Not to burst your bubble... but he probably ran away because someone saw him. Most robbers are just looking for an easy quick buck-- jump in when no one's home and steal a few valuables. He probably *could* have attacked you or something, but that wouldn't have been worth the risk he was running.

I'm sure he realises that.

For shame, Tess. Rumor has it that super-bovine powers were used in the catching of this vile criminal.
...I don't actually know what super-bovine powers are, but I do know they are *super*. And awesome. (Also, Tess is just jealous because he didn't get to scare away a prowler last month too.

This is why I have had a large German Shepherd in my house for the last 14 years. No one dares to come in.......

A small price to pay for courage.

If some guy with a smoking cat face on his forehead said anything to me, i'd run, too... even if he came in MY house.
