I would say, from your opening line.. It makes no sense for you Your initial mental preparation and position is all wrong for the task.. Your already starting off with the mind set of "wandering" If you take a second to read my replies above, you'll clearly see that is not what I'm advocatingBird of Prey wrote:I don't really understand the rationale of wandering outside in the dark when you think there may be an intruder lurking. !
Anyone thinking of "wandering" outside should take the advice already presented clearly above.. Stay in side, move to a strong point, call and wait for the police.
None of that above is right or wrong , just an opinion and A solution.
