Years ago, a pro gun magazine used to run a section for “unbelievable” results:
In Bethlehem, PA a crook broke into a bar overnight.
Another crook in Allentown, PA broke in to a house, while the owners were on vacation He, too, sued he owners for unlawful imprisonment, etc.

30+ years ago a thief broke into a home in Bucks County Pa. while family was out. They arrived home, perp left through rear/side entrance and tried to go over a wrought iron fence, slipped and impaled his arm on the fence. Police arrived, found the perp with items from the home, he went to the hospital. He was the " only source of income " for his family, they sued and won. I tried but could not find the newspaper report which had names, times, results- Sorry. What was true yesterday, may not be today. I would suggest talking to a Criminal Defense lawyer in your area to determine what your liability may be. Be Safe,
