So I get woken up by my wife this morning at 5am, she hears noises upstairs in my loading room. There is a dog door on the room, so thinking maybe a raccoon or something? Then notice the door slightly ajar. Kick the door all the way open ,my ,flashlight in one hand and 44 bulldog in the other, and heres a person in full camo standing about 7 ft from me.. It was a women , she was ordered to get on the floor. Told my wife to call 911. Seven police cars show up about 25 minutes later.( I am in a rural area on acreage) She was arrested and booked for burglary. When they were loading her into police unit, noticed it was my camo jacket and boots she was wearing. I am a little more shaken now than when it happened.! Well, happy Birthday to me!!!

Good thing your wife woke up or you would have slept right through it.
Or maybe she was your surprise birthday present?
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

It’s my birthday too. Thankfully not as ”exciting ” as yours.

Damn. Hell of birthday for sure. I'd talk to her or the cops that do and find out why she targeted you and what she was looking for. Just my $.02 Damn a thief.
Also, was she hot?

I knew loading equipment was hard to come by. But this takes the cake.

No, not hot. My first thought was maybe my wife got me a hooker for my birthday!, but not hot. More like tweaker. ! I think she was targeting another house that's for sale and empty,about 600 yds away! She picked the wrong house, could have easily been shot ! If she had any type of weapon in hand, would have been a whole different outcome.

That was a crappy birthday surprise, but you're lucky that you and your wife weren't harmed.
Breaking into an occupied home suggests that the woman was either an amateur or desperate. I wonder why she picked your rural home? A neighbor or "friend" of a neighbor setting you up?
I'd bet that your adrenaline level went through the roof the second after you discovered her, good cardio workout!

That's a brand of excitement I don't want. "Happy Birthday" is coming out of it alive with you and your wife unharmed and the perp behind bars. Not a bad thing, not a bad thing at all.

Kenster,
Please keep us informed as the situation evolves.
I'm glad you didn't have to shoot her as it's not worth the anguish.
We're glad your family is safe!
