I don't feel like retyping, so read up from the first post.
Scenario #2:
There is a person in your neighborhood that knows about your game collection. He has talked about how cool it is, and has even said that if he could get enough money together, he would try and buy it from you. One day he approaches you, and offers you way, way under the amount that you even paid for anything, better yet, he offers you less than 1/3 of what your collection is worth. Of course, you turn it down, but he seems discourages, as he practically offered you his life savings for your collection and you refused (hey, some people are cheap, but for some of you, it is the exact opposite). 2 weeks pass by and you do not see or hear anything from this guy, it is extremely strange, as he used to talk to you nearly everyday about wanting your games until you refused his money. Now, he didn't want some games, he wanted all of your games. One night after you get home from work, you hear from this neighbor, he sounds very different, almost like he is scared, but you can't really tell. Of course, you think little of it, play some games, and then goto bed. Around 3:30 at night you are awoken to a very loud bang in your house, and you know that absolutely nobody could be up in your house. Of course any person that is a human being is a little startled, and just like a true gamer, you invested all your money in games and not in guns. Plus, you have no clue if it is one person, or 5-10. By the time you sit and listen, you know somebody is in your house that is not supposed to. What do you do? Remember, if you call the police, the person could already be gone by the time the cops get there, and, if it happens to be your neighbor, he is not that dumb, he could easily find a place to stash the games and the cops would have nothing on him (if it is your neighbor) What do you do?
I forgot to say what I would do.
Seeing as I live and sleep in my room, and my room hold all my games, this situation would be different for me, as it would be for some of you, as there would be no sitting up, there would be laying there listening. Call me paranoid, but I have an old, burnt out long blacklight bulb (about 2 feet long) that I keep so close to my bed that you wouldn't even know what happened until I hit you. Of course, I would have to make sure it was just one, and give the person a could whack on the head, and with a good hit, that would stun the person and give me just enough time to get up and either snag their weapon (if they have one), or do something to keep them detained.
