Yeah we were robbed a gun point and held hostage for like an hour before breaking loose and savagely beating the home invaders to the point where they were taken to the hospital before they were taken to jail.

One of them had to wait 5 days before they could even bring him in to court in a wheelchair to be arraigned on charges.

One of the headlines was something like, "home invasion thwarted by Crock-Pot" because I smashed my crock pot over the head robber guys face cutting my hand in the process.

When the police finally showed up an hour after we had called them, they started to arrest me until my mother got there along with my neighbors to vouch that I was the victim.

Edit: I'm an American, I just realized this was a UK community. The ringleader of the robbers that day was a German national, And the two Americans were sentenced to 5 years but he was deported to Germany and spent 2 years in a mental hospital.
