How not to intrude

It has been a while since we have posted a how-not-to message, and with the recent experiences of this man, we thought another one might be in order. Mr. Chapek had apparently broken into a home and was taking a shower when the owner arrived at home. Frightened, Mr. Chapek phoned 9-1-1 to get assistance.

Mr. Chapek's experience shows a few things that any would-be home intruder should be aware of, besides, of course, that intruding in someone's home is against the law.

• Just because the home you invaded has a shower, it may not be wise to use it.
• Just because nobody is home when you invade a home doesn't mean they won't arrive
• If you are confronted by an angry homeowner, calling the police may not be your best option
• Maybe invading a home isn't a good idea

We hope this has been informative and that you will learn from Mr. Chapek's example.
