just chased two car burgulars off with an axe - thanks pioneer brackets!

[45tr0]

i was feeling hungry and couldn't be bothered cooking, so decided to drive to maccas. Opened my front door and noticed two young feral looking blokes in hoodies poking around the inside of a "Skilled" falcon just outside my front fence... with a smashed window...

rather similar story to what happened to my work car and brand new jimny two months ago...

Jezebel was parked right beside the front door, and I didn't really think about what i was doing. I was unclipping the axe when the gas strut let my front screen door bang shut - they went to run, and before i knew it i was over the side fence, screaming blue murder at them, and carrying the axe... and the dog (who is usually a giant bloody sooky lala) wanted in too.

I dunno what scared 'em more - a big angry looking fella appearing out of nowhere waving an axe about; or the great dane/bull mastiff jumping clear over the front fence onto the bonnet of the car they were ransacking, growling full noise.

Little bastards sure could run though. i'm built for comfort, not speed; but i kept behind em to the end of the street and the dog was gone another 5 minutes before he showed up looking knackered.

called the cops and drove around for a bit trying to spot em, but they went to ground pretty quick.

and i never got my maccas :(

its shocking aint it and no not the axe wish you could of hit them

[Dagsey]

Reckon the owner of the Falcon owes you a home delivered Maccas as a minimum! Glad you scared the **** out of them and didn't actually get too close with the axe, that might have put you off of your dinner!!! Are you available for hire? Dags :twobeers:

Some years ago the dog and I chased some yobs who were intent on creating havoc around our place and when the cops eventually appeared (I didn't call them) they warned me that my actions plus carrying a large torch could have resulted in me being charged!!!:(
Just lucky I suppose that the dog only snarled and caused the yobs to whimper with fear (so would I with well over 50kg of Rottie on my heels!) as they run for their lives, and didn't bite one or two.
Had the desired effect though as they never came back.:D

Good stuff!

"I was just chopping some wood on the footpath when one of them jumped in front of me!"

:angel:

Lucky they were quick for your sake too - it's a bit of a conundrum if you catch them and they call your bluff! :o

Just watching Braveheart as we speak. Reminds me of some mad scot!
Nice one, hope they pooped themselves.

was still standing out the front with the axe when the coppers arrived - they only told me to be careful.

apparently about 8 months ago a bloke chased a couple of home invaders about 2km from his house with a baseball bat - the baddies called up their mates while on the lamb and only stopped running when four of their mates arrived. they took the bat off him and used it pretty soundly - he nearly died.

made me a bit glad to be unfit, to be honest.

That would have been a funny sight you heaving with axe in hand :D,
Back in the early 90's i spent 3 years in the UK and had 6 young tall west indian type fellows follow me and when they got close told me to give them my wallet, not in any frame of mind to run (knackered and weighed down with doc martens and drizabone) and gave them a whole heap of lip. I turned and kept walking and then 1 said i have a knife, i thought oh f#ck i'm a goner but then i remembered i had my knives in my backpack (chef on his way home) some i swung my bag infront of me and pulled out the biggest knife i have (45cm cooks knife) and i turned around and ran at them yelling with knife held high- you should have seen their faces, they literally **** themselves on the spot and ran for their lives. I stopped after about 25m panting with adrenalin pumping, when some poor irish guy walking towards me with head down looked up and nearly died when he saw me. I got home fast as i could and called the old bill just in case they tried it on someone else.

I recall about 10 years ago one of my workmates came into work with a black eye. The night before 3 guys had tried to mug him on his way from the dojo to the train station. The first he knew about it was a king hit, hence the black eye. He was then told to hand his bag over while one of the guys had a knife on him.

He said OK, but he was going to have to keep his black belt. He left them lying in the street with broken bones and quite a bit of other damage. Then he ran like hell so no-one could report him!

He said he would have been more lenient if they didn't pull a knife on him, figuring they would mug some other poor schmuck who couldn't defend themselves, so he gave them a life lesson.

funny when i lived in marylebone and travelled the underground at night i always had my chef knives in the top of my bag "just in case" sadly the law would say that is pre-meditated, which in my opinion is wrong if some dude is wanting your hard earned..i say **** off mate cop a bit of this

Many years ago when my eldest daughter was an only child in nappies, we had a nutter who used to call at our house, banging on windows and doors. I worked nights and he would only call if I was away. I took time off work trying to catch him, to no avail. The police couldn't catch him either, but they did tell me how to flog seven bells out of him without leaving a mark, and advised me to break a window from the outside and drag him inside, if I did any serious damage to him.:twisted:

Truth of it is i'm not a big fan of violent altercations at the best of times, but the missus left me about two weeks ago - well sort of, she just can't stand this town anymore (obvious reasons) so she's staying with my sister in Sydney until I can find work down there.

I guess when i saw yet another car being broken into in our street, it was as it they personified everything wrong with this ****ing place. Today i'm actually a bit scared about what would have happened if i'd caught either of them - and not for my sake.

Funny when you look at my first post about Hedland - bright shiny idealistic young bloke wants to make a difference to community in small town.

Second post - slightly less shiny bloke peeved at vandalism to his new car, but still holds hope for his place in town.

Third post - deranged psychopath attacks teenager car-botherers with an axe.

All in only 12 months! Bring on the city I say! Ahh... sweet therapy.

Try and find a house in Port, it's 18km and a world apart from South.
