Alternately, the sound of a 12 gauge double being "clacked" close will do the same thing. Actually, smart people don't break into other people's houses or anything else.

Buckshot, as the saying goes, means burying.

Cops in the US say that you can't shoot someone when they're fleeing because when they are running away they are no longer a danger to you. A very proper, very nice little old lady said to me when a cop said this in a neighborhood meeting, "Yell at them 'Hey! You dropped something!' and shoot 'em when they turn to look. Then drag 'em back inside the house."
