What about those that break into your home innocently?

I have "broken in" to peoples homes several times for several reasons.

My parents home because I arrived very late and didn't want to wake them. In fact my car broke down and I walked the last 25 miles, arriving at 3am. Opened a window and climbed into my room. Dad woke up, realised it was me and went back to sleep.

After a dinner party I left my cummerbund, which I needed to take on a trip the next day. Fortunately I was known by the owner's dogs when I went back to retrieve it. Again, too late to wake them up and I knew where it was.

Would I have been shot in your house before I could explain myself?
