I agree with you Derek. My confronting him was probably not the smartest thing to do.
Now that I've had a chance to think about it the situation could have gone very badly. I guess whatever logic I had in that heightened state was to at least confront the guy face to face so that he knew I wan't going to just lay down. I thought that he would just run away. I didn't expect him to lunge at me like that. Once the adrenalin took over it was all a blur!
Most perps understand the response time and how the legal system works(or doesn't work for the most part!). I had a retail store and thieves would do "smash and grabs" by breaking the storefront window and taking as much as they could within a few minutes. They knew that the cops couldn't get there that fast and it took at least that long for the alarm company to call me first and for me to authorize them to call the cops.
I guess, at the time, something snapped in me and I just said "NO MORE!"
