"...Brian Whitlock was using a garden hose to water his lawn on
Tuesday night around 11 p.m. That's when a man, dressed from head to
toe in black, scaled his back wall and claimed to be a police officer.

Police allege the criminal was hoping to rob Whitlock's home. However,
the Las Vegas homeowner had a different plan in mind.

A steady rush of water isn't exactly a proven defense mechanism. In
Whitlock's case, it worked to prevent the stranger from getting what
he wanted."

1. A house or other inanimate object cannot be "robbed." Only a human can be
robbed. A house can be burgled, or thefted.

2. Apparently some goblins don't like getting wet (cat burglars?). For most
situations a "water" gun is not the weapon of choice.

LOL!

Perhaps not, but a water cannon is often an effective weapon.

Right. Nevada is an open carry state. No reason not to be armed late
at night when the "goblins" come out.

I understand his late night watering policy with our drought of many
years.

I really think this kid was lucky; not shot, or hit with a pick-axe.

True. That was lesson #1 in my police dispatchers course.

Riots in the deep south, fire hoses? As Pres. Oh Bomb Us

The article says he's 23 years old. And his parents
threatened to kick him out of the house if he didn't get a
job.

"Desperation can make an honest man a crook," added
Whitlock. "I hope to god, he's learned his lesson. I really
believe and hope he is a good person, who made a dumb dumb
decision."

My guess, is that the kid was looking for some income,
without getting a job. And that his criminal idea shows his
bad thought process, not his desperation.

Surprised the home owner was not also cited for illegal watering.

He is allowed, just as myself to water at night with a hose. Day time
sprinklers are limited by days and time by season in the desert.

At night - have at it!

The guy just used the wrong tool for the job.

A hickory stick is better than a water hose. Put knots on his head
faster than he can rub 'em off. Break an ankle or so he can't dance
trying to rub the knots off his head.

A .357 does a better Darwin job.
