Shorecrest Attempted Burglary Busted

At around 12:38 am I was startled when I heard my dog barking up a storm. I turned my tv to the channel where I could view my cameras and witnessed a burglar (white male in his 40s with long blond hair, shorts and a short sleeve shirt) climbing over my neighbors fence leaving their property. I grabbed my gun and cellphone and ran outside. I confronted the burglar at gunpoint and told him to get on the ground. His breath wreaked of beer. I proceeded to call 911 and he turned around and took off running. I didn't even have shoes on and chose not to give chase. I also wasn't prepared to go to jail for shooting this idiot in the back. I watched him run as fast as he could westward on 80th street. To my surprise he stopped right when he got to the little river club's fence and jumped right over it. I told that to the 911 dispatcher when I was on the phone with her. I got a call about 8 minutes later from the police. THEY CAUGHT THE BURGLAR!!! I id'ed him and off he went in the back of the police car. It is funny that he chose to jump onto my neighbors property as they're always home and normally have multiple people there. It seemed like he cased the house out and knew no one was there. Although I am not going to make definitive accusations I have a vehemently strong feeling that this thief is a member of the little river club or has frequented it before. How did he know to stop right there at the little River Club property and jump the fence? I think because he knew where he was going!!!!!! It just seems way to coincidental that he was drunk and ran there to escape...I must say the police did an outstanding job apprehending the burglar. It was also nice to see the same faces I saw a few months ago when my home was burglarized by another person who came to my house two days in a row...
