Thread: 2 GUYS TRIED TO BREAK INTO MY HOUSE WHILE MY WIFE AND I WERE SLEEPING

At 4 a.m. I hear a truck drive up our driveway (we have a long driveway that winds right past my bedroom windows) Doorbell rings and I wondered what was going on. I didn't answer it and just figured some drunk kids were messing around. 5 min. later there's another knock. So I decided to sneak into my "office" and look out the window that faces the garage. Right there in front is parked some old beat up pickup truck. This is when I started to get a little worried.
I decided to call 911 and get the PO-lice. I told them that there was a pickup truck in my driveway and a guy at my door--both of which didn't belong there. This whole time I didn't turn on a light, cause if they were in fact trying to break in, I wanted to put these fuckers in jail.
The cop showed up and did a little drive-by shining his spotlight up my driveway, but that doesn't do anything cause the front door sits away from the street. So I called 911 again and told them I wanted the cop to walk up the driveway and knock on the door--make sure everything was cool.
He parked his car in front of my driveway and got out all stealth-like, shutting his door quietly (Picture me watching this from my bedroom window while my wife is freaking out and the thug is getting ready to bust the door down).
As the cop is walking up the driveway--gun pulled--dickhead and his buddy asshole are COMING AT THE DOOR WITH A CROWBAR!!!! The cop walked up and literally caught them in the act. They started walking towards them and he told them to drop to their knees or get shot. Next thing I know there are two mid-40s caucasian asshats lying face down on my front porch getting cuffed by the cop.
6 or 7 cop cars show up, k-9 unit, crime lab shows up to take pictures. UN-FUCKING BELIEVABLE. My wife was a wreck. The cop that cuffed em' came in and told me one of the guys had a "big-ass knife" on him and I look out the door and see a huge crow bar lying on the ground.
Oh--and one last thing--I was supposed to do a dawn patrol this morning and hit up Toledo Chute. Fuckers.
I am super glad that it turned out the way it did. Looking back, maybe I should have scared them off sooner, but I wanted to make sure these guys got caught. Either way--no bones about it--scary, scary shit.

That was seriously a cool read, Grizzle. Sorry about the bad luck, but man....glad those fucking fucks got what's coming to them. Here's to getting ass raped without their big ol' knife!

Glad that worked out for ya! Scary stuff indeed.

Glad you're o.k. - I can't imagine the adrenaline rush you received...

Glad everything worked out. Fucking scumbags!

Nice work grizzle. Clowns like that need to go down.

On a related note: everytime I go to the dino park-n-rides I notice smashed auto glas everywhere. So many crackheads stealing stuff and damaging cars. Somebody should get a posse together and hide in the bushes. Then when said crackhead shows up to steal beat the living shit out of them with baseball bats. They won't be calling the cops. Film the whole thing and make a movie. Much like bum fights. But in this case asshole badguy crackheads are getting the beating rather than hobos. Crackheads think twice about stealing and you get rich as everybody who's ever been stolen from buys this thing and grins ear to ear to see shit heads caught in the act and paying dearly.

I'm not the guy to it, but it seems like a viable idea.

That is unbelievable!

Thank god the cops showed up in time! I am glad to hear neither of you were hurt.

Hope the Mrs. recovers ok from the shock of the whole thing... you two for that matter.

Jeezus, the nerve of some people.

there'll be plenty more dawn patrols
bet you're adenalin was pumping (bet you could've skinned up toledo in 10 minutes)
glad you and wifey are safe

btw, nice crisp clean shot

Scary shit...glad to hear that things turned out alright. What part of Salt Lake did you say you live in? I'm just curious, wouldn't mind knowing if something like that was happening just down the street.

Wow! I'm glad you are OK physicaly, metally I'm sure you are worked. I'll take "fucked up shit people do on meth for $500 please Alex". The cops showed up this time but they won't always be there. Question for everyone: Are you prepared to defend your property and yourself? I pity the fucker that tries that at my house.

I agree with Foggy. Although I'm far from a violent person, I do keep guns in my house. Anyone successfully breaking into my house would be repelled with any force necessary.

As ridiulous as it may sound, I am super stoked that you nailed those shits. I wish them many a night of anal rape in jail.

I hate theives and I love it when tyhey get nailed.

I live above Foothill Blvd. at about 1500 S. and 2700 E. I was thinking about calling the news, just to get word out--cause I think people should know. We'll see. (Red Baron?)

Whoooaaa!! That's a pretty intense story. Glad everything went well.

thats some crazy shit glad everything worked out and no one got hurt
hope they get whats commin to em

I thought about that a lot this morning. I'm not a violent person either, but after an experience like this, I would do anything and everything to protect my family. I might be making a trip to the local pawn shop some time soon.

Not to alarm you or anything... But, I'll bet these assclowns are back out on the street by tomorrow. And, being as how they weren't actually successful in breaking in, I'll bet they receive little more than probation. (if that)

Our justice system sucks.

Actually, the same thing happened to a buddy's dad in high school. He lived in the outskirts of Oregon City which has it's fair share of methies, crackies and what not. Mr. S was napping during the day when he awoke to a huge crash. Mr S happened to be a big gun collector and a bit of a gun nut. He grabbed the long barreled .44 from his bedstand drawer and calmly walked into the living room where he saw his front door kicked off it's hinges. Just then he saw three speed freaks right outside the front door, about to come in. One of them saw him and charged him with a knife. Mr. S. spread him out like tuna rosa with one shot from the 44. Police report said he was 4 feet inside the door when he was shot--his body was found 6 feet out the door, on their front lawn. The other two tried to get away but where shortly found by state police. All three were out of their minds on drugs.

Thanks essay. Last week at The Basin. Beauty of a day.

Yeah, and I'm sure Carmelo Anthony would be happy to help! Oh wait... he only appears in movies supporting crimes...

Good story. That should be a favorite story at parties for years to come.

Wow, glad you're safe, and those guys got caught. What the hell was the point of ringing the doorbell??? Well, at least this goes to show that cops really can do good things for society besides harping on the people trying to have a good time.

I was wondering the same thing. My guess was to see if anyone was home or if someone would answer the door. Easy, unforced entry if someone answers and opens the door.

Glad you and the wifey are safe.
