Taye Diggs Chases Down Home Invader

title or description

A quick note to any salesmen hoping to unload a home security system on Private Practice star Taye Diggs: He doesn't need one.

Last night, after returning to his Los Angeles home from the Screen Actors Guild Awards with his wife Idina Menzel at 11:20 p.m., Diggs discovered a burglar in his garage. The intruder – first reported on by TMZ and later identified as Hassan Juma, 20 – attempted to flee, but didn't get very far.

"The suspect tried to run away, but [Diggs] chased him down the street and was able to detain him until police arrived," LAPD spokesman Richard French tells PEOPLE. "At this time, I don't know exactly what he did to the suspect to detain him."

Juma was arrested, charged with burglary and is currently in custody. Bail has been set at $50,000.

Diggs's crime-fighting exploits capped off a busy evening for the actor. Earlier in the night, he and Cougar Town actress Busy Philipps handed out the SAG Award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series to Claire Danes for her role in Homeland.

At the after-party following the awards ceremony, Diggs, 42, and wife Menzel ripped it up on the dance floor to the beats of DJ Pesce.

Never been in a home invasion but my friend has! My friend's house got broken into. After his mom, dad, and two sisters left the house and my friend stayed behind because he was sleeping. Then some guys broke into his house stole all the tv's and laptops and then goes to my friend's room last. The burglar walks in and is stunned to see my friend there and my friend wakes up confused to why someone he does not know is holding his laptop. Then the burglar ran away.

My friend thinks the burglar was like watching his family for a few weeks to remember their schedule like when they would be in and out and stuff. But the burglar wasn't prepared for my friend to be there because he was only there for winter break. :/

that's so fucking scary that they were possibly being watched
katiese93 29th-Jan-2013 07:16 am (UTC)
I just read the running in his suit part

I'd be the worst neighbor because I'd probably call the police but then assume since he's dressed like that he, was filming a movie or something lol.

OH wait I do have a story!

Ok so the house I live next door too was empty for like a year. One day our dogs started going crazy outside and we were wondering what the hell was going on. My dad looks out the window and sees these two motherfucking 13 year old turds breaking into the house.
My dad just called the cops and pretty much went back to his computer game since he really didn't care.

Well my room is in the front of the house so my sister and I were spying when the cops got there. The kids looked so fucking scared sitting on the curb and we were already cackling at this point. Then one of their dad's gets there, yells at his kid, literally throws his bike into the back and tells him to get in the fucking car. He told the officer sorry and was being really cool with him. But my sister and I were dying because this kid was sobbing in the front seat of the car like an idiot.

Oh it was funny as hell when it happened.

lmao stupid fuckers.

that reminds me of one time my dad was walking to the corner with no reason and saw a kid tagging (we lived on the same block of a high school). My dad chased him down, and held him until the police arrived. I guess the kid literally shit his pants, because he was so scared. My dad thinks it's cool cause he got an award from the mayor, but I'm like that kid could have had a weapon or something you idiot!

lmao

teenage boys crying because they got caught being an idiot is one of my favorite things to laugh at

Never had anyone break in *knocks on wood* but there were a bunch of break ins in my building and I became so paranoid it would happen to me. I barely slept because any noise freaked me out and during the day I would leave a radio on by the door thinking it would trick them into assuming someone was home.

I was so happy when they finally caught the guy. It was someone who lived in the building. Fucking lowlife.

does anyone else want to own a gun for reasons such as this? my dad wont let me have a gun in his house so i have to wait until i move out i guess (which is unfair he is not the one home alone every night from exactly 10pm to 6:30am), but im torn between having a handgun that can be kept in a bedside biometric safe or a big pump action shot gun because im confident if most intruders just heard you cocking that shit they would gtfo hmmm decisions decisions
supermishelle 29th-Jan-2013 07:30 am (UTC)
I'd be too scared to own a gun living in an apartment. I'd be too paranoid that I'd shoot through the wall and accidentally kill someone. I just keep a myriad of possible weapons next to my bed. But overall I live in a pretty safe neighborhood. The worst thing that's happened to me or my friends is having the car stolen and ditched after the gas is run out.
_underwhelmed 29th-Jan-2013 08:20 am (UTC)
i think i generally consider apartment buildings safer, assuming there is only one door in to your unit and its a higher up floor so i would reconsider my plan depending on where i lived for sure
hearxmexrawr 29th-Jan-2013 07:36 am (UTC)
my fiance wants a gun for this, but i think it's silly because what the fuck is a gun gonna do? at best we're dealing with HS kids being dicks, at worse, idk, probably meth heads. A gun isn't gonna do shit against a meth head, they will do anything and half of them are out of their damn minds. idk. i feel it's a lose lose.
joc_strap 29th-Jan-2013 07:50 am (UTC)
it's exactly why i want one. i just want something to carry with me from my car to my house.
green__desire 29th-Jan-2013 08:04 am (UTC)
yea I wouldn't feel safe here out in the middle of no where without one. Shit is always getting robbed out here and we've had a few attempts and scares of people just creeping around constantly. It's super likely they have a gun and I'm not brining a knife to a gun fight. Though I'd probably aim to shoot their dicks or knee caps just in case ghosts exists I don't want someone I fucking killed in my own damn house haunting me haha.

I plan to own a handgun, ngl.

i live with my parents who are old and have been the victims of home invasion before, earlier in their marriage, and since my dad's deaf now my mom just doesn't feel all that safe with just a german shepard anymore so she's made it clear she'd like me to get my permit/lessons and purchase a firearm for protection. i'm not all that keen about a handgun at the moment but i definitely have plans for a shotgun in my near future.

Ever since my boyfriend moved out of our small hometown, he's had nothing but bad luck. His car has been broken into twice and then once he was sitting in the car in the parking lot of my old job waiting on me and a guy acted like he was asking for directions. I got into the car as I heard him tell my boyfriend to give him the iPad he was reading on and all the cash he had on him. He had a hoodie on and was pointing *something* at us through in the pocket (this was in broad daylight) and I'm pretty sure it was just his finger but who wants to risk that? My boyfriend started to argue with him and I just whispered and told him to give it to him. He got into the car parked next to us and some guy drove off. I took down his plate numbers and called 911 and even though the cops were fucking assholes to me, they caught them 2 hours later and 4 hours later we had the iPad back. They spent the cash at McDonald's, haha. They're being charged with armed robbery. We're still waiting to hear from the cops about testifying against them.
supermishelle 29th-Jan-2013 07:27 am (UTC)
Good luck testifying against them. I hope they get thrown in jail.
strict_joy 29th-Jan-2013 07:32 am (UTC)
They actually admitted to doing it is the weird thing. It was really our word against theirs, and they just owned up to it and asked that they go easy on them if they told the cops where our iPad was. Not the smartest criminals ever.

My house has bars on all the windows and gates on both doors. We also have a Lhasa Apso that produces the most piercing fucking bark ever if he hears anyone coming into the house, so.
wicked_jade 29th-Jan-2013 07:39 am (UTC)
Small dogs are awesome little intruder alarms. I've got a pekingnese/chihuahua mix that's shrill as hell, bless her.
silentsymphonie 29th-Jan-2013 08:23 am (UTC)
Our dogs bark their heads off at anyone who comes to the door, but as soon as they enter the house they're all over them licking and nuzzling. They'd never chase off an intruder lol
devlinacardigan 29th-Jan-2013 07:25 am (UTC)
Our house was robbed when we evacuated for a hurricane. It's funny, I've lived here my whole life and it doesn't even feel like my home anymore.
strict_joy 29th-Jan-2013 07:34 am (UTC)
:-( I'm so sorry. I hate people.
williammiller 30th-Jan-2013 06:04 am (UTC)
That is awful omg :(
jello404 29th-Jan-2013 07:26 am (UTC)
I'm poking to move back tot he south and Atlanta is known for home Invasions. Every complex I pull up the reviews for,everyone talks about how someone broke in,stole everything down to their deodorant,came back for the car the next time. It's terrifying. And it's like that all over Georgia. I remember I was watching a movie one night and some dude jumped over our patio and kicked in someone's patio door on the second floor..like folks are climbing buildings and shit.
So that's my big concern. Moving to a new complex and not having my car or house robbed.
hearxmexrawr 29th-Jan-2013 07:29 am (UTC)
o i got another one. one time someone tried to steal my car while i was in it. it's not home break in, but still. like, jfc dude. it was awful. i called my friend right after and he laughed at me :(
wicked_jade 29th-Jan-2013 07:46 am (UTC)
I'm sorry, bb. That's definitely not a laughing matter. My dad had that happen to him once, when I was a baby. He was driving to work early one morning (like, before dawn early), and this guy tried to jump in his car at a stop light. The doors weren't locked, so the dude actually got the door open and managed to get about halfway in the car. Thankfully there was no one around at that hour, so my dad floored it and ran the red light before the guy could get all the way in. My dad was okay, but it rattled him, and he was extra vigilant about always locking the doors after that, and raising me to do the same.
hearxmexrawr 29th-Jan-2013 08:30 am (UTC)
yeah i was getting into my car in a baseball stadium parking lot in broad fucking daylight. i broke his hand but he broke my nose and took my shoe :(
merenwen17 29th-Jan-2013 07:29 am (UTC)
once someone apparently came in my house when my mom was home, she was upstairs. She heard them downstairs, and thought it was my brother so she called out his name, and they left.

my brother (or any of us kids) were not ever home during the day, still don't know who it was..
merenwen17 29th-Jan-2013 07:30 am (UTC)
also, this is a fun post to read before bed...
hershelwalker 29th-Jan-2013 07:51 am (UTC)
ikr. what kind of timing
twistedsinews 29th-Jan-2013 07:33 am (UTC)
Bless this beautiful man.
supermishelle 29th-Jan-2013 07:34 am (UTC)
The managers of my apartment complex let a convicted sex offender move in. I still have no idea how that happened considering they did background checks on all of us and even raised our deposit because my ex-boyfriend had an underaged drinking conviction from yrs ago. But anyway they let the guy move in and he was spying on his upstairs neighbors because it was 2 women who lived together. One day he broke into their apartment and attacked them both and kidnapped one. Thank god the cops found him a few hours later and both women got out of that situation alive. We raised hell with the management for allowing this guy to move in and they tried to make us feel safer by putting up a damn gate. How good is a fucking gate when the rapist was living IN THE COMPLEX.
strict_joy 29th-Jan-2013 07:52 am (UTC)
I would have told those motherfuckers to give me back the extra deposit I paid.
green__desire 29th-Jan-2013 08:10 am (UTC)
I agree with above, you should fucking demand that deposit back immediately. I'd be livid.
williammiller 30th-Jan-2013 06:04 am (UTC)
WTF @ that manager letting him in.
la_geni 29th-Jan-2013 07:37 am (UTC)
I don't know who told me this, but the statistics are that homes with dogs usually don't get broken into. Even the smallest dog makes a lot of noise.

Anyway, one time a few years ago I was talking to my ex bf on the phone It was bumfuck o'clock and I remember his dog just barking and barking in the background. It was incessant and I was like, "dude, check on the dog maybe he's just cold." He did, but nothing was wrong with him. He calls me up a few hours later to tell me that his mom's car had been stolen from their driveway. That's what the dog was barking at.

_underwhelmed 29th-Jan-2013 07:50 am (UTC)
i believe it was criminal minds that taught me the three things would-be evil doers look for are an absence of lights, security systems and dogs
wauwy 29th-Jan-2013 08:16 am (UTC)
The cops told me this after I was robbed.

Anyone with a dog knows, they're on the LOOKOUT for that shit. Bless the superior beasts.
