Most criminals are NOT prepared for a confrontation,
but quite a few are just psychopaths, so you have to be ready
to deal accordingly... :-/
Sucks, hope this all works out for you.
Ditto. You need to be careful. You're lucky he only had a crowbar, and not a gun or something.
And by the way, good job fighting them off, but don't ever try to fight someone who's trying to rob your house. That can lead to serious reprocussions, such as legal trouble.
On a lighter note, at least he only took an iPad and an Xbox. Sucks that you lost it, though. I got robbed a few years ago, and they took my computer.
