Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

My brother's printing company got broken into so often, he virtually
barricaded the business with wound barbed wire fence. The crooks climbed
onto the roof and puched a giant hole in it and a drop line to hoist...
computers, paper? ink? Kinda/sorta a low class cache of goods if you ask
me.

BTW to catch "little hangers" safely for release, if it's hanging on a
curtain or curtain rod or light ring, you need a bowl or pot or box and
a piece of cardboard (or something flat and trap the bat between the two.
In some cases you'll have to trap it inside the bowl and slide the
cardboard under the bowl. You'll hear a bat scream like hell. Keep it
covered, walk it across the property and kick the cardboard off and it'll
fly off or if you need another level of comfort tape a string to the
cover and run it into the hous and pull the top off that way.

I'd dispose of the containing bowl/box in case the bat had rabies. If
you've been attacked by it. Call animal control keeping it contained.
Most bats are not rabid (generally).

Wear kitchen and or garden gloves during capture and be quick about it.

Bats are just mice with wings like squirrels are just rats with furry
tails.

Have a nice day! ;)

What sort of bats are these, Andy? They must be very small ones. We get a
lot of bats in the palm trees in our front and back yards, but I wouldn't
want to have one in the house because they're a little large. They're fruit
bats (locally known as flying foxes) and they're quite a large bat (have a
wingspan around 1 metre or larger) - megabats as opposed to the
insectivorous microbats (which I assume yours are). I think the little ones
are cute too, I just don't see any around here.

I'm talking microbats. Maybe 10" wingspan. Give me a fruit bat any day,
just keep your snakes and spiders!!!!!

Sounds like Dallas Texas to me. Everyone has a gun in Dallas. Especially
Tyler Texas.

You think you're safer in a place where you CAN'T
see the guns?

No bats, no guns, no flood-lights or security systems- just well
locked doors and windows.
The closest thing I have to guns is a drawer full of rubberbands and a
409 bottle set on "stream"... always set on stream. kev

Yeah, right!!! LOL! Rubber bands. Good cat toy maybe.

Ever door in my house has two doublesided keyed deadbolts. You need a key
to get in and out. I don't give a **** that it's illegal. Break into my
house and you're gonna be begging for your life when you try to escape,
if I'm home. I was ready to shoot to kill. You had your window cleaner.

You live hidden in your apartment with your rose colored glasses and good
luck on ya. Troll.

You may wish to talk to a lawyer. Killing somebody who is trying to
escape after breaking into your house may be considered murder,
depending on state law.

Dan,

That's the way the house came when I bought it.

You don't shoot a defenseless person but you sure keep them on their
stomach for the cops to arrest.

I've studied my state and federal gun laws to the point I should have a
degree. I have a good attorney. I've had excellent advice from cops. It's
not play. It's life and death.

But you speak the truth.

Don't shoot someone in retreat, only as a last resort to save your and
loved ones lives. That's self defense plain and simple. Out in public,
knowing your background is also vital if you can't take cover. I could go
on and on. Practice and being a good shot is also vital. Never shoot to
maime, etc.


All the best,

Andy

Well Andy... I have to say, I don't know you personally but you're the
most paranoid wannabee i've ever encountered on the net. kev

You live how you choose! It's not paranoia, it's a freedom granted to me.

Ever have a .357 magnum stuck in your face by a junkie in a parking lot at
night in the rain and live to talk about it?

Didn't think so.

That's what cops are taught: shoot twice at body mass, check, if not down,
shoot again. That said, we have nothing but a shot gun in the house and
that is disassembled and I don't think we have any cartridges for it since
it's been years since DH has been hunting.

DH had some WWII vintage guns he'd inherited from his dad, but I couldn't
live with those and 3 kids in the house. Before you say "teach the kids
not to touch them, that guns aren't toys", that's what DH said. I had to
remind him that his father had taught him the same thing but it didn't stop
him from playing with the Luger and discharging it in the house, narrowly
missing his brother's head in the process. He saw my point and some happy
gun collector now has the two guns. I sleep better at night.

I have not... and I doubt you have but i'm sure you will say you
have.
But that's irrellevant... what does a junkie in a dark rainy
parking-lot sticking a pistol in someones' face have to do with arming
and securing your home as though it were Ft. Knox, aside from proving
your paranoia? kev

It happened to me. There's a police record in Los Angeles all about it.
The advantage at night in the rain is darkness, naturally and rain
reflections from all directions makes bad guys hard to see. Wish you'd
been there instead. been there!

I said in another post the house came with the door locks when I bought
it.

Call me paranoid. helpless troll. I take responsibility for my life at
home or elsewhere. You're the stupidest person, proud of your rubber
bands and 409? HA!

A junkie wouldn't have a .357, he would have sold it already to buy
drugs. A junkie would have a cheap .22. (but don't underestimate a .22
as an offensive weapon, it just sucks as a defensive weapon)

What does this have to do with anything? And what's the significance of
the "in the rain" part?

thanks for making my next point Andy...

We are fortunate in this country to have people lobbying for stricter
gun control, protesting concealed weapons laws and the right to carry-
the last thing we need are people like you in your easily angered state
walking our streets loaded to the gills with an itchy trigger finger...
unless of course, it's a bat that pisses you off.... not that you could
hit one with a 45 cal. anyway.
Nonetheless, i'm sure your story of morning machismo was a big hit
with the ladies. kev
