8am the other morning and I'm leaving for work. Open the back door, screen door was closed. See a guy with a backpack 5 feet to my left peering into my kitchen window. He had to get into my backyard through a closed, latched fence gate.
So I stepped back to get my wits. My very first thought was maybe he's a contractor working on a neighbors house. Second thought was that's ridiculous - this guy is looking to get in my house. (I also have a 6 year old daughter who was not at home). So I opened to the door and went outside as he was walking by so we were face to face. I said something along the lines of what the fuck are you doing. He look surprised as hell and bolted all out. About 4 feet to my left on top of a box were a few tools, including a hammer. I grabbed it and ran after him. He was running full speed along the side of my house towards the front sidewalk.
We were both running full speed, but I was able to catch him right as we reached the front sidewalk, and as I did I swung the hammer overhead and down, planting it square into his upper back as hard as possible (I'm 6'4", 215#).
He let out a fucked up noise and went down, and then started to scramble, at which point I kinda stopped him from getting up and explained to him that if he moved the hammer was going right into his head. I didn't have my phone, but the neighbor from two doors down was in her car and saw the whole thing. She called the cops, they showed up and arrested him, he had a warrant.
I hadn't even had coffee yet but that shit woke me up.
