I have a driveway chime in the garage. That's a chime that doesn't actually ♪ ding dong ♪ in the garage but only in the house.

I was asleep and heard the alarm so I got out of bed and put jeans and boots on, GF came out too with the phone. There was a guy wheeling my Honda XR400 out of the garage. As soon as he saw me he took off and I was .5 of a second after him.

He was running for his life and I was running to....

After about 100 meters I totally hit the wall, gasping for breath. I looked up and he was 75 meters ahead of me similarly out of breath, so I took off after him again. He did't see me coming so I almost had him. He took off and I chased him for another 200 meters down the street then he disappeared around a corner and into the back of a restaurant. Suddenly he leaped out at me and a minor scuffle then he was off again. I was hard on his tail. He ran down a driveway then disappeared. I really couldn't find him.

Four or five police vehicles suddenlyarrived. Arrived in minutes. The dog handler asked where I last saw him, then suddenly the dog went nuts and the guy was hiding only meters away. The cops dragged him out and I was busting to whack him over but not a good idea with police all over the place LOL

Geeze, the most evil looking guy. Really BAD looking facial tattoos and glared at me full of hate. I glared back at him full of hate and let him see a clenched fist, letting him know I was up for it.

All the usual forms statements etc for a couple of hours. I got details that he is a major bad guy and has been remanded in custody until his video link trial. Wooo, I was lucky I gave him grief before he did something crazy like stab me.

Haha, but all good fun unless someone gets badly hurt. I'm limping a bit with pulled achilles tendon, but smiling as my inner moron/bloke gets a big night out LOL
