Both Pistolero and PISSED sent in the following addition to the DGC:
House sitter slays intruder
Pistolero was incredulous that the crooks would go back to the house they had just robbed; I'm not so certain that's necessarily a given. The crooks have already established that the house was an easy mark; why not go back and see what they missed? Fortunately, in this case, the homeowners had friends who could watch the place - and were good shots.An intruder was shot dead inside a Northeast Side residence, apparently after driving to the home in a Lexus stolen there two days earlier, police said Wednesday.
Neighbors said the area had been hit hard by burglars this month and some residents were arming themselves.
The man, whose name wasn't released, broke into a home in the 5800 block of Royal Club about 11:50 p.m. Tuesday, a police incident report states.
Dead Goblin Count: 163
That is all.

Actually, it is fairly common for professional burglars to hit a place a few weeks after hitting a home the first time. This gives the residents time to replace the stolen goods with new stuff paid for by insurance. And, all to often, they have not gotten an alarm system.
"The house-sitter fired three shots, striking the man twice in the chest and once in the pelvis, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene"
Nice shootin', Tex.
"..... and the shooter isn't expected to face charges."
God Bless Texas! They oughta pin a medal on the guy.
....it was nice that the perp brought the car back, though!
Also, it makes a LOT of sense to return in the car.
Think about it. Is the owner's car sitting in the driveway going to arouse suspicion?
Goblins never learn.
How many DGC kills have Texans racked up at this point? I count about 34.
"This has never been a bad neighborhood. I don't understand why (the burglars) keep coming back."
Keep shootin more and eventually it'll fix itself.

Don't forget that many newer cars are equipped with built in garage door openers.
If the home owner hasn't changed the code, the thug gains entry with the push of a button.
I've heard that many thugs in our area are checking unlocked cars for garage door openers. If unlocked, they have the stuff in your car and your house.
Bob,
That's an excellent, excellent point.
Just like you remove your GPS from sight when you park at night, you should also remove your garage door opener, right?
Right?
Also, lock the door between the house and the garage as part of the nightly routine...
