It&#x27;s standard to have guns drawn when doing a sweep in response to any report of an unauthorized presence in one&#x27;s home, even <i>without</i> a claimed eyewitness to a break-in, as in this case.<p>Years ago, after I bought a new house but had not yet moved in (I was moving individual loads as I had time), I came to the new place to find an upstairs light on.  Now, I was fairly sure I would not have done that without noticing as I left, but I saw no sign of forced entry or active presence.  So, I called the police, explained that this was <i>probably</i> just my screwup, but if you have an idle unit, could they stop by when they have a chance?<p>Two officers responded, did a sweep of the house, guns drawn, finding nothing, and were very nice about it all.  &lt;facepalm&gt;
