About 5 years ago we were camping in a state park - myself, wife, and 12 yr old daughter. Sometime around midnight or so, both my wife and I were woken up by the sound of someone working the door latch on our 5th wheel. I made my way to the door - heart was a pounding, my eyes were still very blurry, and I had no clue what I was going to do. I was standing in front of the door, as this person was fiddling with the latch. All of a sudden I heard it release and as the door swung open I launched a full power kick towards where I thought a guys head would be. About half way through the kick I realized that this would be criminal was much shorter than I anticipated, and that I had missed horribly. However, he didn't seem to have even noticed me as he started to climb the steps into the trailer, very slowly - it was then that I noticed this criminal resembled a petite female - it was our daughter sleep walking - again! Next morning she had no clue what had happened - and i was thanking my lucky stars that I had not connected with her head - I'm 6'5" 240, she was about 80 lbs at that time.
