Dont be silly, it is not the same at all, why did you not call the police at the time or in the time between the incident and the time you confronted the goon?
Yes call the police.... yet again for them to do nothing.
Serious problems exist if you dont need to use reasonable force to protect your own family and children. https://www.askthe.police.uk/content/Q85.htm
No, you are talking about two different things,
1 challenging someone you caught in the process of breaking into your property for what ever intent,
2 you saw someone breaking into your property, at which point you decided to do nothing then wait and challenge them at a later date, why do you think they are a threat to you or your family? surely if they were you would have done something when they were actually breaking in
which one of these sees you on the wrong side of sense

Change of scenario then, said person is seen breaking into your home. He flee's and you cannot confront him. You later find out that he did something horrific to your family.
The police come back and say we have no physical evidence so cannot do anything
It seems our views of family protection differ slightly....
You should be able to walk down a dark alley at night or go where you will and drink where ever you like, but most sensible people avoid certain places because it is dangerous.
Maybe because of the saftey of your wife and kids? Do you believe an individual like this will not escalate the situation? If he does you will have given up a wonderful lifestyle.
I've enjoyed reading this thread so I will add my own story to the collection.
Once while working on an estate in the north-east of Scotland a group of us decided to take a walk down the small valley we were staying in. The sun had long since set but the moon provided just enough light for us to travel without fear of injury and although we had walked 10+ miles during the day over hill and heather and would be doing so again the following day, all of us being young men, none were eager to go to sleep so we set off. After a mile or so of laughing and joking we stopped at the middle of the loch on the valley floor and turned to face it, taking in the full panorama of the valley. It was at this point that one of the group pointed to the end of the loch in the direction we were headed and exclaimed "What the f@%£ is that?!".
As we looked over we were all met with the sight of a single faint light hovering a little above ground level, whizzing around at great speed and rapidly changing directions. I'm sure like myself most of the group's thoughts were drawn to tales of Will-o-the-wisps or UFOs and with quick glances at each other and without the need to say anything we all bolted back the way we had came. After a few hundred yards we slowed back to a fast walking pace and then began to joke about how easily us city boys had been spooked in an attempt, I'm sure, to alleviate the affect of such an eerie sight. Needless to say, it didn't take long to get back to our bothy and nobody suggested a night-walk again.
Spoiler Explanation: (Highlight the following to read)My theory is that the game-keeper who lived in the bothy beside the one we were staying in had noticed us all leaving and subsequently called another who lived near the far end of the loch in the direction we were headed. Deciding between the two of them that this would be a great opportunity to play a prank on us I believe he attached a light to the collar of one of his dogs, wound it up into excitement, turned the light on and let it loose to run about thus making it appear in the darkness as though the light moved with a life of its own.

I am curious as to how several days later, foot prints were still visable to find the bodies, even though they camped in bad weather and snow storms?

Oooooh! thats a head**** of a story!
To paraphrase Sean Connery in The Wind and the Lion, "Perhaps she had nothing interesting to say."
One thing I don't get, the rescuers followed the footprints after heavy snow, and they were found under 4 metres of snow. Does not compute.
