Went to the wally mart one night while my daughter ( at the time about 2 months old) and wife were at home. Wife calls the cell and says she hears a strange noise outside the back door, like something hitting the door. i.e. shoulder, foot,etc. Since we live out in BFE, you can see why I was concerned, cause NOBODY should've been there at 11:30pm. Left all my stuff in the buggy and hauled balls back to the house with the wife on the phone. got to the house and tore up the driveway with the brights on, scanning the front and one side of the house as I went. She already had the gauge out , locked and loaded, and met me at the side door. I grabbed the shotty and went around to the back door in the dark, feeling red hot angry and sick all at the same time. As i got to the back I noticed the ground was all tore up, leaves scattered, etc. like someone HAD been there. since I didn't see anyone, I walked up the yard about 20 feet to the shed ( most conveinient hiding place on the property, besides the woods) and yelled out that I was armed and if there was anyone there they had best come on out. I serched the shed ( its actually a pretty big "shed" with an upstairs) and found it to be empty. Then I went out back again and put three rounds into and old 55 gallon drum, just hoping that if there was anyone they would see that I was serious. But in the end everything was cool, and nobody got hurt which is the most important thing. Still, neither one of us slept very good for a few nights after that....
