Alabama certainly isn't California...

If the difference between Alabama and California isn't clear, this article should make it so. An Alabama came home to find their home burglarized. The wife went to her sister's house while the husband investigated the house. At that time, the burglar came back and was caught by the husband and held at gunpoint until the police arrived. To top it off, the Alabama man made the burglar clean up the mess he made in burglarized the home. Police laughed at the complaints of the criminal, saying he was lucky he was still alive.

Imagine this occurring in California. Does anyone really believe that if this occurred there the homeowner wouldn't have been charged with kidnapping?

A burglar in Montgomery chose the wrong family to mess with, literally. Adrian and Tiffany McKinnon returned home on Tuesday after a week away to find that thieves had emptied almost everything the family of five owned, Tiffany McKinnon said through tears.

"Tears just rolled down my face as I walked in and saw everything gone and piles of trash all over my home," she said.

Adrian McKinnon sent his wife to see her sister while he inspected the piles left behind. As he walked back into the sunroom, a man walked through the back door straight into him, Tiffany McKinnon told the Montgomery Advertiser in a story Thursday.

"My husband Adrian caught the thief red-handed in our home," she said. "And what is even crazier, the man even had my husband's hat sitting on his head."
