[QUOTE="Brenin Moelfre, post: 5801112, member: 413"] As we live out in the sticks we’ve never locked the door except when going away. Anyway at 2:20 in the morning my wife heard someone setting off our creaky floorboards (old farmhouse)on the landing outside our bedroom. At first she thought it was one of our girls. She then saw this tall silhouette looking down on me and the mrs whilst we were in bed. I was fast asleep. She rubbed her eyes thinking she was dreaming,then he was gone. She woke me up by whispering to me saying “someone’s outside our bedroom”. I listened and heard someone slowly going down the stairs. I immediately got up out of bed,went outside our bedroom, turned on the landing light and to my horror saw this tall ginger haired man going down the last couple of steps. I then took off like a greyhound being released. (normally I’m like a 90 year old going down the stairs after sleeping but it’s amazing what adrenaline does to you.) He also took off, probably because of my shouting and swearing,and ran out through the front door and slammed it shut to slow me down and waste valuable seconds. I opened the door, my car was parked just outside and I decided to give chase in the car, reversed up the yard so to drive up our lane. When pointing towards our lane I could see a little red mazda and a man sitting in the driver side. I immediately drove my car within inches to the back of the Mazda, jumped out and clenched my fist ready to whack him, went up to him and saw that he was trying to start his car. I reached in to snatch the keys but after struggling with him realised it was keyless start. I then opened his door pulled him out and slammed him back against the car, all this was included with me swearing like a scene out of the Sweeney. He managed to move around me and pulled and I lost my grip and he was gone, ran up our drive like a Olympic sprinter. It was hard for me to keep hold of him as I didn’t have anything on my feet thus no grip. I then ran in the house got my phone, torch and rigger boots and ran out to his car and rang the cops.
