Yesterday I just saw a video about a thief managed to steal two cellphones and one wallet from a boarding house around my college area. I'd rather lose money than get myself hurt in anticipation to attacks from the thief provided he gets caught stealing. So I think the victim is still lucky after all.
The worse case of course can happen. Imagining the scenario is : I come from the toilet and head to my bedroom, open the door and see a stranger is inside, he turned his head and eyes staring at me, within milliseconds I know he's a bad guy. Then?
(Considering I'm not fainted yet on the spot) I will probably :
1. Running away as fast as I can and scream as loud as my frequency of voice is able to reach.
I think this is the highest possibility of action I will take unconsciously. Both attacks and defense are performed. It can wake people up and get ready to corner the thief and at the same time relying on my running speed, hopefully I can escape from danger.
2. Get inside the nearest room I can find and lock it. Be it my friend's room (lower chance, as many of them lock the door and it takes time to knock and wait for response - also it will risk another creature's safety), bathroom - toilet (agree more). Still, trapped myself inside a room only shows defense that can easily be torn down. Let's say he's a big guy, he can break in the door using 70% of his body's power. He may hold a knife (which I'll never know because I won't get near him and/try to know whether he has that knife or not) and pierce the door like those killers in the scary movies and all I can do is crying and screaming like hell inside the toilet.
3, Be cooperative with him and make him understand that I actually understand him. Saying "please take everything you need, and leave slowly, but don't hurt me" calmly may help. Reverse psychology, he won't buy it, instead he will run away in a wink. Lucky if he doesn't hurt anyone.
4. Lock him inside my room. I was actually surprised of this idea that came from my friend. But it sounds logical. If the room is big enough and the thief is far away from the door while the key is still in the key hole, it'd be much faster to just get the key and lock him inside. There will be enough time to be ready for counterattack : calling for help, policemen, or perhaps provide more and sharper knifes.
Sometimes in a very difficult situation, someone can be totally changed to a different person. Logic somehow can be deceived. There are a lot of things that can occur during seconds, minutes. If you ever give yourself time to think of what to do and try to be a smart logician, I believe you can suffer and lose much more than those who just follow the instincts, sense the danger and just escape. I hope I will have them and not to react the otherwise though I wish I won't encounter such cases.
