3 AM

3 AM Mother is up, and for some reason I wake up. I go to the family room and within a few Mother come in the family room and is snow white in color She tells me someone is trying to get through the side door on the garage.

A couple of weeks back someone tried to steal Susan's Jeep again. So this time I grabbed the Mossberg 500 (pistol grip) yelled at Susan to call 911 and out (carefully) the front door I went.

Two persons saw me and I dang near shot them, but at the last millsecond one of them looked like a teenager to me. He dropped what was in his hand and they took off. At first I thought it might be a pistol as it was dark. It turned out to be a flat blade bar.

That young man does not know how close he came to dieing. However, I know how close I came to killing him. Just to *&^% close... just to */$/@/% close.

Mother is still shaking and I think I'm going to open up that old bottle of brandy.

Edited to change some words.

OLDS,
Sorry to hear that. It must be terrifying. I know that you have have trouble in the past. Is there anything that you can do like motion lights to help?

That was a tough situation Olds. AS car 54 mentioned, do you have lights by the door? I'm glad you and your family are OK.

Glad everyone is OK. You really showed great restraint in not shooting that dude.

The entire outside of the house is lit up. Not a shadow anywhere. They were at the back of Susan's Jeep in its shadow is why I could not really see what was in that boy's hand.
