While we’re offering anecdotes in place of evidence: I was the subject of a “home invasion” once.
I stood up and told him to get the fuck out of my apartment, and he did. Burglar who was expecting an unoccupied flat, no weapons involved on either side.
I’m about 5’6", BTW. And, at the time, I was wearing nothing but boxer shorts (I was resting in bed, off work with a cold).
