PORTLAND, Ore. -- This time it was the intruder who called 911.

A man who broke into a house in Portland, Oregon, called police -- afraid the homeowner may have a gun.

The suspect, Timothy James Chapek, was in the bathroom taking a shower when the homeowner returned to the house Monday night, Portland police said in a statement.

Accompanied by two German shepherds, the homeowner asked Chapek what he was doing in the house.

Chapek locked himself in the bathroom and made an emergency call, police said. He said he had broken into the house, the owner had come home, and that he was concerned the owner might have a gun.

The homeowner also called the police to report that he had found a man in the house.

Police with dogs took Chapek, 24, into custody "without incident," they said. He was booked for criminal trespass.

They did not say if the homeowner did in fact have a gun

I'm sure he'll sue the home-owner.

All I could say is wow, mind boggles me when I hear of the intuder/burgler being the idiot to call the police because they fear for their safety bunch of nimwits. At no point does it occur to these fools that the actually homeowner is more petrified being confronted by someone whose broken in as it's their home their sanctuary. Yes I've been on the receiving end of being burgled twice while in the house and I kid you not it's scary beyond belief, my mum even yelled there are people in here it didn't stop the dude he carried on and strolled through the house with us hiding in absalute terror the second time was a week or so later we locked ourselves in a room for a while till we heard footsteps leave the house. (The days before cellphones were available so had no way of contacting police till he was gone as the phone was in another room) I have never forgotten it and never will, to this date I still triple check locks and doors and keep a heavy torch by my bed. So if these mugs fear for their safety they shouldn't choose to even attempt such a risk and preserve their safety and those of the owners. Hope this makes him pause now to think how it would be if he was the one to experience someone tresspassing his home. sorry for the rant just hate hearing stuff like this cause I feel for the homeowner.
