4 Men Attempted To Break Into My House
All,
4 men attempted to break into my house today.
By some act of god, at the exact moment they arrived in their (stolen) car, I just so happened to go upstairs and be looking outside my bedroom window.
All men had balaclavas and gloves on. One of them got out of the car, and approached my side gate. Another man got out and acted as spotter. I ran into my brother’s room to make him aware.
We go back into my room, and I open my window and, (honestly) rather sheepishly, tell them to leave. My brother shouts at them. They drive away. I then call the police.
My brother and I are large and athletically built (6’6 and 6’4 respectively). We were likely significantly larger than them.
According to stoic principles, what action would one take in this situation? Would he go out and confront them? And how would a stoic deal with the aftermath of this (paranoia, fear, etc.)?
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate any thoughts or suggestions you leave.
