s**t dude...
A similar thing happened to a friend of mine a couple of years ago...
3:45am he got woke up to the sound of their kitchen door creaking open, old wooden door between dining room and kitchen.. he lay in bed listening and could hear foot steps, he said his whole body froze and he couldnt move!
a few seconds later he got a massive kick of adreneline, put a t-shirt on grabbed his samurai sword off this display rack on his wall..
he ran down stairs to find 1 bloke holding their DVD player and another bloke with a red light torch looking through their key rack.
Baring in mind his dad owned a Jag S-type, his mum a corsa SXI and he had a souped up CRX!
He didnt know what to so just shouted "what the f**k are you doing" and swang the sword in the air (sounds like something out of Kill Bill we joked when he told us LOL)
But he said he had never been so scared in his life, the blokes could of easily done anything to him, but luckily they dropped the DVD player and ran out of the back door.. the noise woke his parents up and they rang the police.
I acutally cant belive how someone would dare break into a house and steal? it really is beyond me..
Nothing ever happened and the bloke were never found, but a few other houses in the area had "attempted break ins"
The police said to my friends family "Its either somebody local, or travellers" hhmmm well that narrows it down?
Hope this all gets sorted mate
