    Payback for breaking and entering...

    "There is still the issue of the original "crime." If someone breaks into my property for the purpose of trashing and looting, I would be hell-bent on restitution. But if they break in for the purpose of cleaning it — scrubbing the bathroom, mowing the lawn — then, in my way of thinking anyway, the debt goes in the other direction. "

    Sorry but I don't want anyone "breaking" into my home no matter what their reason is! And if they do, I want the law to punish them. If I want your help I'll ask for it and then "invite" you in!

    Welcome Helizna!

    I really hope you are being fecious because I have to agree with Cliff on this one. Nobody comes into my home uninvited, and if they do, well, I will certainly engage in my 2nd amendment rights to protect my family.
    I don't care what the reason is, THE LAW IS THE LAW.

    First ( at least in my world)you don't break in to work in my home...I would need to invite you in after checking your background and references...To continue I clean my own house and grow and till my own ground ..I don't have my neighbor demand payment after climbing my fence and working without invite...basically trespassing

    I sent "Barbara" an email blasting her. How about joining me and sending more?

    Helizna, it means to be sarcastic or satire. I figured you may be sarcastically kidding, but I wasn't sure.
