So now you wouldn’t call the place if you saw someone breaking into someone else’s house? Would you even call your neighbor? Would you do anything yourself? Gather gang of people together and go over there? But then you would be the police wouldn’t you?


As ever, it would be a case-by-case basis. I do not reason from the abstract to the particular, which i find generally immoral. Rather I consider the particular in all its details.

In general, someone breaking into a house is a present dangerous and serious threat. On that basis I would call the police, etc.

If someone opened the door, saw a mobile, grabbed it and ran off -- then i'd maybe leave a note with the neighbor
