Burglars prompt family to post no-trespassing sign

A son, wanting to protect his family's Hudson home, had a large sign made for his front yard. He says it's a promise, not a threat, to would-be burglars. The sign reads, "Try to break into this house again, your head will be blown off."

Last Wednesday, Steve Holland's 71 year-old mother, Claudia, had just turned off the TV around 11:30 p.m. when she heard a "whop" sound as someone kicked open her front door. "I guess the dogs kept them from coming in. I never saw anybody so I guess the dogs scared them and they left," said Claudia Holland.



She says her three tiny dogs, Jessie, Hank and Speedy went nuts, barking ferociously at the people on the other side of the door. "It was scary because I thought what am I going to do?" said Claudia. She called police, and she now has a new door and deadbolt.

However, that wasn't enough for her son. "I just wanted to put out a big enough message not just to whoever broke-in, but the rest of the community," said Steve. It was put on the lawn just a few days ago, and already the family have received many many calls laughing at the sign. But Steve says it's not a joke, there are three guns in the home.
