Several years ago my dog woke me up and I noticed a car parked in front of my house and a fella was sneaking up through the yard toward my garage that sat away from the house. I grabbed my 30.06 and slipped out the back door and hid behind the pump house and watched as he crept toward the garage. It was about 3:00 a.m and the moon was bright so I could see him pretty good. I lead him a bit and when he got about 4 foot from the building I put the cosshairs on his head and pulled up just a hair and popped a cap. I never realized how loud that rifle was at night and I didn't think you could run from my garage to the road without taking any less than about 200 steps but unless I miscounted I can't say this fella put his feet on the ground more than three times. When he reached the road he dove in the back window of the car and the driver sped off. I put the sight on the car but figured they weren't worth it. Dam round of 30..06 at the time was nearly fifty cents per round. I never had any more trouble.
