We should do this again some time

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States - Portland

Today, I came home from work to find a burglar in my house. He then said that he was just leaving, and went back out of the broken window. FML

Not everyone owns a gun. Oregonians tend to stay away from violence...

You might even be worse off owning a gun if the burglar finds it first.

That is why you should carry your firearm with you. It's there when you need it and it's not gonna get stolen.

I'm not exactly sure what a pair of bear arms would be used for in this situation, maybe to rip them to shreds?

That sounded like a casual burglar, lol. Sorry though, OP.

Hey atleast he didn't harm you. But you should have tried to stop him.

^ Agree with #35, 100%. I've studied martial arts and boxing for years and I work out, but if someone comes up to me with a knife and demands my wallet, they can ******* have it. Why? Money isn't worth risking my life or my family's life over. It's just Stuff, there isn't one thing in there I can't replace. I've trained to survive, and not dying for a few twenties and some plastic cards would be included in that. Someone breaks into my house, I have my family there, that's a different story. You leave immediately, or you may die. Take what you have in arms and just walk away, I don't care. Either way, there's no fooling around. Life's not a game. :(

If Op was prepared and trained to deal with people like that, then she would have. If not, let the idiot leave and give a full description to the police. Someone that stupid is probably well known by the police anyway. Just glad Op is alive to tell the tale.

OMG! Hope you are okay. Glad he didn't attack you. This happened to my Wife at her Mother's place, alone with my two Daughters. The guy pretended that he thought his friend lived there and was playing a prank. My Wife kept her calm and escorted the guy to the door, then called Police. They never did catch the guy but they arrived in record time. (under 2 minutes) Okay, I'm shutting up now. :)

18- I'd say from your story that your wife is both intelligent and fortunate. That could have ended very differently, and thinking about it gives me shivers. :( I'm glad to hear it didn't. :)

Thanks Dracoboxer357. It still gives me shivers when I think of it, and it happened almost 13 years ago. The Wife broke down and freaked out after the burglar left of course. She's pretty tough though. :)

Who's the douche bag that voted YDI ? Probably the burglar. :)

111 - Don't be in a hurry to grow up. I'd give my life to be your age again. (Well, that didn't sound quite right.) Ah, you know what mean. Enjoy your life at any age. :)

What did he make off with?

25- Not with OP's life, so does it really matter? :p Considering he went back through a broken window, he likely didn't have his arms full. I'd think either cash, jewelry or nothing, since it's up for conversation....still of little consequence in my mind, however.... Edit: I don't mean to sound rude. If I'm coming across that way, I'm sorry. :)
