From my personal experience of interupting a burglary:

I instructed the young man to unfasten his belt and pants but not take down, sit on floor, extend his legs straight out and flat on floor and sit on the back of his hands with his palms flat on the floor.

he was extremely compliant but the fact that I outweighed him by about 200 lbs, was holding a 12 gauge pump shotgun he had heard me shuck a shell into and the peturbed look I'm sure was on my face after finding him loading my silver into one of my pillowcases may have been factors.

He was silent and motionless until HPD arrived then began mouthing off in a most profane and disrespectful manner including threatening me if I pressed charges.

According to the paperwork I received he was only 12 years old and this was his 3rd burglary of a habitation arrest.
