Common to steal chickens?

The guy didn't belong there, he took off into the woods and ended up in a foot chase. They did find his "camp" but i had to leave so i never talked to the cops afterward. I believe they did get him finally though because it is pretty quiet again......

Glad to hear. It may not hurt to call the police and check on what happened after you left. Glad you and yours are ok.

I'm sure also your neighbors will feel better knowing the cops were on the look-out. If he saw you home and bolted - theres nothing to say other people in the area were safe.

'tis true.

Our neighborhood has had burglaries, in the daytime, since the banks foreclosed and emptied houses in the area. The cops told my burglarized neighbor, "we're seeing more drug and gang affiliations move in, they network and case out the area, and some of the houses are "squatted" by people CLAIMING they are renters". The crimes have kept our police VERY busy!

Believe me, better to be safe than sorry. Keep yourself posted about the outcome of that guy. They don't travel alone.

See it never hurts to inquire. I bet you feel better you asked. I would also phone and follow up on what the police found out.

I'd also be interested in hearing what the police say in regards to the final outcome. I'm just glad you and your family are safe!

I've seen lots of homeless with cell phones... AND computers and lots of other electronics that they plug in to the outside outlets at the place I work at. Who knows how they afford them?
Hope the Police have spooked him enough that he will move on. It really does sound like he was planning a chicken dinner. Keep safe!

Did you ever talk to the police? Just curious.

man, I think you need a meaner (OK, mean-looking) dog......davekrista could use one too. just sayin

Don't worry' I own a couple hell hounds that keep us covered at all times. That night everyone was in the house. Sound sleepers I guess. That would have changed if someone would have tried to get in a door. Springfield and Glock had everything else covered....

When I said that it gave me the willies I meant for them, not us. But we would have had to live with the aftermath for the rest of our lives. That I would rather not have on my soul if I can help it.
