I've just been out with the scope, running through the usual summer sights. I usually like to have some headphones in with some music going when I observe, but I didn't tonight...

Luckily...

Listening to the usual sounds of the night, I heard one that didn't quite gel, a metallic scrape... Turned around and spotted some scumbag with a torch trying to break into my car. He mustn't have seen me in the dark... (Stupidly) I took off towards him yelling the profanities one would be expected to use in such a situation but he took off before I could grab him... Think I surprised him as much as he surprised me...

Currently sitting on the front porch waiting for the police to return from a search of the area so I can make a report.. Understandably pretty shaken up, no sleep for me tonight, but I think I've done enough observing tonight too...

I hate to think what that guy could have done if he had turned on me... Very silly move on my part... I dont want to discourage anyone, but be careful when observing guys, stay sharp, and watch your surroundings... And although I'm a bad example, don't antagonize or chase anyone who does happen to try anything...

I'll keep you updated if they find him, I'll be awake for a while... Lol
