You know what else is funny? The neighbours are totally non-chalant about it. Other than the initial panic of getting loved ones out of the line of fire. I was just talking to another neighbour who was saying, "yeah, well, the thieves are still around my house somewhere, the police haven't caught them yet." Sort of relating it like you would describe how one of the neighbours hadn't cut their grass recently. I guess too many near death experiences makes one jaded about something as minor as an armed police chase by your house.
