I was in the backyard with the scope a few months ago, about 2.30-3am, when I heard a noise behind me that was unlike the usual night noises (bats, owls, cows in the next paddock)...
I turned around and spotted a torch beam moving around the driveway...
I snuck up to the corner of the garage and saw a guy shining a torch in my car looking for things to knock off, he obviously hadn't seen me in the dark even though I was only a couple of meters from him...lol...
I watched him for a few seconds, then shouted out and charged at him...
He absolutely crapped himself, as my 100Kg+ 6'5 screaming figure came barrelling out of the darkness...
He dropped his torch and a screwdriver and bolted off down the street, I went after him for a bit, I had no real chance of catching him...
Luckily, he left a nice big palm print on the car window as he took off...
The police caught a suspect who aparently was just out taking a walk (at 3am)...
Seems he likes to touch cars during his walks, his print matched the one on my car, as well as two other car break-ins in the area...
He was found guilty, not sure of the sentence though...
Definately one of the scariest moments I've had scope-side.
