Calif. Man Detains Naked Intruder
Full Story Here
BREA, Calif. - A man who awoke Sunday to find an armed and naked intruder standing over his bed subdued the suspect until police arrived, authorities said.
Eric Wall, 45, told police that the intruder — identified as 18-year-old Arthur David Macias — was carrying a kitchen knife and said the anti-Christ had sent him to the house to kill Wall.
Wall grabbed Macias and pulled him onto the bed. After a short struggle, Macias was detained by Wall and his 15-year-old son, who armed themselves with baseball bats.
Police said Macias broke into the Wall's home about 35 miles southeast of Los Angeles by removing a screen from an open laundry room window and stole a knife from the kitchen. Police said Macias did not indicate why he chose the residence.

From the perspective of many members here, Macias is lucky to be alive. Had it been the house of an armed citizen no doubt there would be little need of a trial.
Stealing a kitchen knife is a common tactic by B&E artists. They can leave the knife behind and if caught they appear "unarmed".
This is yet another reason to own a dog too!
Tactics? In this scenario, the only tatic I can think of is "go for broke" -- the last thing I want is to wake up and see a naked whack-job like this looming over me!

I'm not sure I could shoot someone like that while laughing my a$$ off!
