This actually happened to us, 3am in the morning, they were after our dog (she had just had pups) @Admin grabbed something that would protect us while I rang the police, as we had children in the house the response time was only a couple of mins, they dived through the house but sadly didn't catch the guy/guys, the police were amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to do the same thing again. Hope this helps. x

Wondering on people's reaponses

The worrying thing was, they tried booting one of the back doors through which alerted us but in doing so, woke the kids up etc who started to panic.
As stated above and I'd do the same now - I'd grab something (like a bat etc) and then call the police. The police really were brilliant in fairness.
If they were in the room somewhere (depending on how many) then you can guarantee that it would get messy, quickly. While police are en-route.

Not in my home at the time , we had a farm ,three guys came onto the farm for machinery , set the dogs barking ,waking the lot of us to see lights in the barns , I rang police while my then partner crept outside with a baseball bat released a cple of our german shepherds and set about tackling the guys ,being on a farm ,nearest police 12miles away, the guys got away but got a good few bites and a clobber or two , we hardly slept properly for weeks protecting what we worked hard to have at the time and a lesson learnt for us lock all your doors at night , as back then we never did and it could of been so much worse had they entered our home

Think the fact I was starkers and so aggressive threw him they did threaten me with assault and indecent exposure as some neighbours got and rueful as I detained him in the cold . He claimed he was drunk he lives no where near me police had me there lost of the day what a ball ache

My standard advice is, always get away and call the Police, …. however.....

If it was my house, my family at risk, I'd bounce the guy so hard he'd think the world was coming to an end... then let the Police have what was left.
But, I'm "5'10 and 16 stone of nasty" as someone who tangled with me once described me, plus I'm Martial Arts trained, ex-military, and have worked in security, so I'm comfortable in situations where violence is a possibility.
