So in 2013 with the supposedly new attitude by the authorities to
burglars,
what is the best course of action on hearing someone breaking in to your
house downstairs ?

Me?
Grab the fire-axe by the door and go down swinging.
**** the law, **** the thieves, they're not having any of my kit.

ISTR a film a few years go.

Plot ran on the lines... house owner lets it be known house will be empty -
known scrote breaks in - and finds himself trapped behind electrically
operated bars - momeowner hasn't actually gone away, spends holiday watching
scrote plead and and starve to death behind the bars.
