Somewhere on another thread, I told of moving into my first bought house and the neighbours were having a drunk-up, peeing on the trees and throwing beer bottles onto the road. My usually peaceful buddy wanted to go at it right now, but I wanted a better move in experience.
In the morning, as they wander into their backyard, hungover, beer in hand, there's me. I'm in black gi pants, shirtless, trimming the hedges, bushes and small trees with my Katana. I know the impression I made. I knew they were just standing there, gobsmacked. Eventually, I faced them and one of them offered me a beer. I said no thanks and went back to cutting.
Never had any hint of trouble from them again.
I keep a bokken by each door now, but I have had to use that Katana on a rottweiller that walked in the back door one day. I had to push the tip against its chest, I was really afraid that it would react and I would stab it. It eventually backed up and out.
Anyway, glad everything worked out well. Did you do the police thing, probably should as you were probably getting scoped.
