I will tied close both his arms and feet so he can not scape,then I call the police to report the incidence and file a complaint against him illegally entering my house and was caught in the act of stealing my property.

I honestly don't know what to do. I think the first thing I will do is to secure my kids. I have a baby and I don't want my kids to get hurt in case the robber will do some actions against us. I guess,I will secretly call my friend who is a policeman and tell him about it. But for that moment,I wont do anything as I a more concerned with the lives of my love ones who are here with me than the things the robber will get from us.

Many have said that to me when the action was already ending,yet the truth is you can just do what you think is right by having a self control and will power to defend yourself against this intruder in your house.I like to shout for help but my voice keeps on not letting out even a little voice,so I just make my own decision to fight until I die or live,and thank God I have survive to all my actions that I have depended myself alone in the house.I tied him tightly in his hands and feet and I call the police.

Oh my, you mean it really happened? Man's instinct is to defend himself at once but for us women,it's the condition of our love ones that comes into mind at once. I have read from one of your replies that you were alone that time,so that may be the cause too why you fought for that robber.

It depends upon the situation because its dangerous to just be impulsive. First thing that comes to my mind during these times is to call the police and then ask help from neighbors because fighting the suspect alone is very risky. We never know he might have a weapon with him.

i guess you're also right about that.. Unfortunately, I'm not as brave as you so my instincts would tell me to just run and get help..

if that happened to me, i would definitely send him to jail and make sure he stays there for a long time. we wouldn't know what's going to happen. he might come back and steal again. or worse he might murder my family for revenge. i would also suggest to you to be extra careful now, he might get back to you after he goes out the jail.

Even if I am very angry at what he did,I still just did not do anything to hurt him and I just leave it to the police,yet I tied him very well he could not hardly move. I am planning to move to another place after he would be sentence in his jail terms, because I do not wanted to have another encounter with him.
