I hope if I ever encounter the same situation at my home they do the same as this guy and run away. If not, then I hope I am prepared. A person who lives not far from us happened upon someone in her garage after arriving home from work early. she was standing between him and the only way out of the place. In a panic, the elderly woman grabbed for her cell phone and tried to make a 911 call. Realising this, he made a run and shoved her as hard as he could into the door frame, hit her a few times and then took her phone before running away. She suffered a few injuries, but is fine. Things could have gone a lot worst for her though. I hate to think about what would have happened if he had decided not to run.

I hear many people saying that they would just hope the would-be intruder would just think it too difficult to get in, and decide to go away. That is nice that you would rather not shoot an intruder, but does his choice not to rape your wife because he's having a hard time getting in mean he will rape somebody else's? I am designing my house with an open entrance hall to the front door, so that I can trap any would-be intruder with a portcullis at the open entrance to the hall, then call 911 while he begs to be let go. Get 'em off the streets! Trap 'em or let 'em gain entry and shoot 'em! Everybody should be allowed to kill a home intruder without fear of arrest.
