So..Who ya gonna call? Well, increasingly these days 'the police' isn't the first answer folks come up with.
In this case though, the homeowner didn't go looking for it, and he didn't cause it. In fact...he was a totally innocent bystander when trouble quite literally came to his front door!
Damn shoplifters! I told ya ..Walmart is worse than the old time Pinkerton Men about pushing shoplifting...though, perhaps their enthusiasm isn't to blame on this one. The Police seemed to ..well... I don't quite know what the heck they figured they were doing??
Read carefully now... Boy was home, but boy called out, GOT out, and was able to report a clear house except for dumb bad guy 'someone thought they saw with a gun' ..and yeah, whatever... Like every shoplifter, low enough to risk jail for a shoplifters take, is packing a few hundred bucks (at the lowest) worth of a gun. They said shoplifter..not robber. But..whatever.. I suppose it happens. They kinda took themselves a little too seriously next tho...
This turned into a stand-off with our Polish hostage ..or ..whatever the cops saw him as to be entertaining him from Wednesday Afternoon thru Thursday morning. Then, apparently, figuring if 16+ hours hadn't seen gomer go to sleep, it was time for a frontal assault! CHARGE!

Cops aren't paid to recklessly go through doors and take losses to push forward on an objective. They're civil authority, not military. So I don't expect them to just stroll up like a Chuck Norris movie and put the guy down without a scratch.
Still..this went ALL NIGHT, and through the wee hours, and all the tactics, SWAT B.S., million dollar gizmo contacts and more..they couldn't overcome and subdue ONE guy, alone in a suburban home, with every form of time on their side to just say 'Hey.. we'll be here to hook ya up when you give up! ha ha ha'.
They had to destroy the guy's house with an armored vehicle and charges? Damn... Not EVERY garden variety goober stealing a gumball is an occasion for a live fire Delta exercise.
No WONDER the guy hid and burrowed in like a tick. Look at the Police Department he knew had him cornered! I'd have run like a cartoon too!

According to police, just after 1:30 p.m. Wednesday there was a shoplifting reported at a Walmart on East Hampden in Aurora. The suspect, believed to be Seacat, fled in a vehicle to a light rail station where he ditched the vehicle and was seen with a gun. Police attempted to chase him but were unsuccessful in apprehending him.

Police said Seacat somehow made his way to Greenwood Village where he entered Lech’s home with a 9-year-old boy inside. The boy managed to call 911, safely leave the home and was reunited with his mother. That’s when the standoff began.

“There are things in there that can’t be replaced. You’ve destroyed a family’s life for nothing, absolutely nothing, due to poor decision making on the part of government officials,” said Lech.
Lech said his homeowner’s insurance company has warned him there is a small chance his policy won’t cover the damage because of a clause for “incompetent goverment” action.
