There’s also the classic: “Dont beware of the dog, beware of the owner”

My sister, who has 3 big dogs, always says: "They (the bad guys) might get into my house. But they're not leaving."

The job of big dogs is to bark, growl, run around and be so intimidating that no sane person would dare enter. If the burgler does choose to come inside, the dogs have failed.

I feel this way too. If you're breaking into someone's home, you're asking to die.

I don't like burglars, but a death penalty without trial is a bit much. And what about accidents and misunderstandings?

In the USA, perhaps. Most of the world isn't that lethal.
