I believe that if you batter a thief, or he hurts himself downstairs he can attempt legal action, however if he is upstairs you can claim he was a threat to your wife/kids/dog/budgie and use reasonable force to defend the family. Therefore once you battered him/them downstairs, just drag them upstairs to leave a bit of blood and then throw them back downstairs.
I'm sure i'll be corrected by a lawyer or policeman.
I accept no responsiblity for this advice.
