>> You're really derailing the entire conversation with trivial what-ifs that aren't even related to the original point.
My original point was that (some) people teach their kids that when in trouble to rely on themselves and not on established social structures yet as adults they do the opposite (the sane thing to do).
Look back over our conversation. You are the one making the what-ifs, while I am merely refuting your points as they come.
>>Not if they're making entry to the attic right outside the room you're in so they can work on that and watch the door.
Read that back to yourself. The intruder is both in the attic and at the door at the same time.
>> You might be suprised at how often burglars use tools they find in the target house.
So 5 minutes to locate where the occupant keeps the ladder, fetch the tools from their car (unless they were carrying them under their arm when breaking in) and/or break down a door before the target climbs out the window.
Realistically, the occupant of the house is most likely dead within seconds. But if they have some kind of head start, the police advice is to find a secure location from which to call the police. I'll take that over the advice of someone whose seen Home Alone too many times.

LOL why ddo you assume that I'm the latter and not the former?
You can live in your own reality. Clearly talking to you is pointless.
