I can relate to that but somehow I doubt the Police would
6 years ago, after 4 'screwdrivered' door locks in 12 months I (finally) heard my car alarm sounding from the public car park behind my house one night at about 12 o'clock.
I leapt out of bed, ran downstairs, grabbed a rolling pin and a 9" vegetable knife from the kitchen. Half naked (not a pretty sight) I ran down the High Street and back up around to the car park with the knife in one hand and the rolling pin in the other.
There were 4 young teenagers hanging-out by the car park who scarpered immediately at the sight of this red-haired, 'tooled up' wannabe Rambo on steroids running toward them. I ran past the fleeing teenagers to check my car - no damage, nothing, not a scratch - oops!
At this point I became human again. That is to say, the normally responsible, rational, calm and sensible person I usually am but with one small problem - I am left in a public car park late at night wearing nothing but a pair of underpants, a rolling pin and 9" kitchen knife! Perhaps it was just a mild case of schizophrenia but in any case we are fine now.
Fortunately for me, I made it back home via disused land and other people's gardens and managed to avoid the High Street.
Looking back it reminds me of the Mr. Bean sketches at the time but in reality I could have got myself into a whole load of [censored], I would never have used the knife but the rolling pin - I just don't know?.
