Nik - yep, police arrived after 20 minutes and I strongly reconsider moving to a farm as I previously intended. Considering NZ population density, if police arrives in town after 20 minutes, then in a rural remote area they'll probably join the party the next day or so.
And nope, we can't own guns... or we can't use them, which is quite the same.
Bob Felts - my CC is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever had: mom's boy, very loving and needy of love. I've seen a different side of him few times, but I am not talking about aggression: he's not aggressive, he'd basically put his body between us and the threat. Before the break in, he insisted to sleep in another room, exactly under the window that was used by intruder... I thought he was sick or something - he NEVER sleeps away from us. No idea how he was able to predict/identify the main security vulnerability of our home.
