========================
 FV> From what you say above, the thieves in your country know that people in
 FV> your country do not resist, should I assume there are a lot of thieves in
 FV> your country and that stealing is commonplace?

I don't have any currrent fugures but I wouldn't say that. From what I read
about it it's most folks coming from Poland and the Baltic countries that do
the most stealing and some of them even do it to get caught and spend the
winter in a Swedish prison and are getting payed for it.

 FV> Was that a rant against your country? Sorry. :)

No problem. I can take it. As I've said before, I'm not that patriotic so I say
that Sweden is the best country in the world.
If you find something else negative about Sweden I'm happy to discuss it
with you and I would most likley agree with you.

 FV> Over here, if you catch a person breaking into your home, that thief is
 FV> probably going to kill you by any means possible. If the thief does not
 FV> kill you, s/he takes the chance that you might identify him/her in court.
 FV> Not resisting just makes the task of killing you easier for the thief.

The thiefs aren't that desperate in Sweden. It's very rare that I read about a
house beeing burglared while there are people at home.
My wifes parents house were burglared when they weren't at home and that
was done by "tourists" from, I think it was Poland. The police caught them
at another burglary.

 FV> You say you would do anything to protect your life. That includes killing
 FV> someone?

I don't know since I haven't been there but if someone would come on at me
with a knife the first thing would be to try to disarm him and if that doesn't
work....next thing would be to try to knock him out...then I haven't a clue.

 FV> And yet you don't want to meet violence with violence? How can
 FV> one kill someone without violence?

First I would try to talk him out of it and if that doesn't work I do have the
right to use as much force needed to put him out of action but if I should
kill him it's most likley I would have to spend a couple of years in prison.
But I'm not that scared about having a break-in. There is no way you can
enter the house without being detected and then an alarm will go off and
the system will call a central and they will send help and call the police.
