I see these stories from time to time and I just shake my head. When somebody is on property that doesn't belong to them after midnight, uninvited, they are making a life threatening decision.

you got that right !

From the Dallas Morning News, this occurred in the 8100 block of Camelot Road. I thought it might be useful to see what the houses and backyards looked like. If anyone else is interested, here is the view in Google Maps:

These look a lot like my house and backyard. My backyard is small and fenced in so no one can accidentally wander into my backyard.
