Home Robbed!

[Simple Man]

I have a situation that has been hard for me to resolve.A man broke into my house a little over a year ago. We did not have security cameras at the time. He was charged with receiving stolen property and given the minimum fine and sentence.He has now moved into a house across the street from me in a neighbor's house.How would you handle a scenario like this?

 

[GYERater]

Rob his house

 

[Simple Man]

He moved in with another family.

 

[TortElvisII]

Get two Caucasian Shepherds and three AR 15's.

 

[Gassy_Knowls]

You're lucky OP. You've never actually been through a real home invasion and lived to tell it like I've had.

 

[Simple Man]

All I am saying is I know this guy did it and I am emotionally bothered by it. How would you deal with it emotionally ?

 

[Gassy_Knowls]

Put it this way. It sucks OP. I feel bad.

It's a whole other thing to see your family along with you in the execution position with metal barrels tapping on the back of your head.


And they didn't pull the triggers.... damn near the greatest adrenaline rush ever. No amount of crack cocaine meth can reproduce that

Flattened his tires, and plant meth in his car. Problem solved

You move on. Manage your trauma symptoms and try to regain trust. It's not easy

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Good news! I asked some others, and they said to kill your neighbor and that will solve the problem.

Have Ryan Lemond move next door to him

 

[Pickle_Rick]

One night, take some Rain-X, and write on his driveway in large letters "I am a thief". It dries to invisibility... until the next rain. Then it becomes clearly visible. The same can be done with Round -up, and a lawn.

 

[Col. Angus]

I’d shoot him in the face with a high caliber bullet.

What do you mean? Is there any doubt? Didn’t you say in the OP he either plead or was found guilty?

Also, how long has he been there ? Have you had any interaction with him?

 

[Rebelfreedomeagle]

Poop in his crawlspace.

 

[Hank Camacho]

I'd just go knock on his door and tell him that you have recently acquired a pet pit viper that patrols your house. And that drugs are bad and you are praying for him, specifically that you are praying that he cleans up and acts right so you don't have to shoot him if he ever sets foot on your property.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

You know the right answer but the fact you are asking strangers’ opinions indicates you are never going to do it.

Nobody ever broke into a house a second time after having their jaw wired shut and surgery on a shattered knee cap.

If you have a clean record otherwise, a decent lawyer can parlay the facts of the case into probation, at worst, for assault with an aluminum bat.

I would have a security system including cameras. Also, buy a gun and get trained on how to use it.

My house is equipped with tons of security. No one better attempt to break in here or they will die a painful death.

 

[Xception]

Op needs to turn the tables, march over there and rape him. Break in his back door, that right there will flip the script.

 

[rmattox]

Sit on your front porch every night cleaning a gun. In fact, be out where he can see you as often as you can. Grin, wave, be confident.

Buy a security system and point a camera at his house.

Seriously, invite him over for a drink. While sitting on the front porch, ask him how he secures his home, what he would do if he found some guy burglarizing his home. Then let him know that you were burglarized once and you are prepared for the next time it should happen. Without saying you'd lock the doors and shoot a guy between the eyes, let him know that's the message. Then treat him with confidence that it will never happen again. You're sending him a message that you are in control.

Play the passive-aggressive card. Go over there, take some beers, introduce yourself. Welcome to the neighborhood. Let him know that there are thieves and that he should watch out, because if you ever caught the thief that broke into your house, it would be very bad (for the thief). Do all this while having your arm around his neck. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Exactly. You want to give an impression of being in control and KNOWING it will end badly for the offender.

• Put sugar in his gas tank.
  
• Cuck him if his wife/girlfriend is the least bit attractive.
• Anonymous tip to the police about drug dealing activity at his house.

Then turn and face him. While looking directly into his eyes for an uncomfortably long time, smile and whisper, "I know it was you."

 

[catsfanbgky]

Put up a sign in your yard "Trespassers shot on site."

This is the move.

[Wall2Boogie]

Damnit, I don’t know why this wasn’t the first option. Send glen over there to take him out. Everyone here knows Glennnnn is a trained serial killer and will do it cheap. Since you’re on the paddock, you will probably get a bigger discount

He was not charged with B@E, but we knew he did it. He was convicted of receiving stolen property. He has been there about 2 week's.Thanks everyone for all of the ideas and suggestions. I confronted him yesterday while he was out front of the neighbor's house. I told him that myself and my wife knew he was guilty of breaking into our home.I looked him directly in the eye and also added that you are a thief,and if you come anywhere near my house, this is not going to end well for you.I was pissed and angry when I encountered him,but controlled my emotions for the most part .Oh I forgot to add after my rant he had nothing to say,turned and walked away.

But was he not convicted of receiving YOUR stolen property? If so, why all the tip toeing around the issue.That proves he was involved in the robbery of your house. And yet he still moves across the street?

2 chicks at the same time.


Wonder cure, really.

I know he robbed us,but the police force in this town are not equipped for fingerprints. So I have no camera pics or fingerprints and he gets the lesser charge and I guess legally can move across the street from me.

See if Johnny Cope is available.

Approach this situation with a clear head. October, 2009, I also endured a home invasion at my daughter's place 8 months removed after suffering two ischemic stokes (i.e. brain injuries). Without elaborating on details, let me just state that I wanted to take out the SOB thereafter, prison time be damned. An event like this leaves you feeling helpless. Work your connections and demonstrate you remain in control. Stay cool, strong and vigilant, and above all, out of trouble. Record everything. He'll eff up again.

Good luck.

Sit on your front porch and clean your guns when he's mowing his lawn. If you don't own a gun, borrow one from someone and clean it when he's mowing his lawn.

I used this tactic years ago in Claiborne Co., TN and it was very successful. Area bum came around one day on a visit. I sat there with my ex-in laws, cleaning a pistol. Drunk SOB asked if I was pissed at him for messing with my old lady. I was stone cold sober, looked him in the eye (eye contact very important) and told the SOB, "if you mess with my old lady again, I might have to take action". His sister was formerly married to my ex brother in law.

He dropped his half-empty beer and quickly walked out of the house. Tactic works sometimes when they are under the influence. Family still laughs about it to this day. Use with caution.

Sell your house and move to Lexington where homes are seldom robbed

 

[Bluetick2100]

Thieves watch for daily patterns.
We are creatures of habit by nature. Mix things up. Mover your car away, make him wonder if you are at home. TV on a timer, radio, lights , real or even fake cameras.

Make it clear to him you are watching him now.

 

[Xception]

You could have left bars of gold in the front yard and he wouldn’t touch em under my plan, but everybody has their way.
