3. Buying a baseball bat.-Bad idea... What if the perp has gun... You need a gun... I have a 25 and my husband carries a 9.
A deadlock was installed last night and the frame will be strengthened today.- Upgrade and throw and few chain locks too... Also a peep hole.
If it happens again I think I'll give the camera a miss, I was thinking logically rather than of my own personal safety.- Yes, If I wear there... I would of popped you. You don't grab the camera, you run...

You are making a lot of assumptions. Firstly, domestic thieves in Australia generally do not carry firearms. Guns only make a situation like this worse. A baseball bat or pick handle will do the job nicely.
