Los Angeles, CA -- You might be freaked out if a knife-wielding thug entered your house, but it's nothing out of the ordinary for David Lee Roth.

In April, the raucous rocker apprehended a burglar who trespassed on his estate and, while he felt a certain amount of fear, Roth insists "I knew what was going on the whole time more than he did."

The rocker has spent years preparing for such intruders because, as he puts it, "bodyguards are not an option. You can't sleep with one or marry them -- except in the movies."

When Roth saw the intruder climbing over his 10-foot-wall, he says he "knew the guy was serious," so he crawled "cat-like" through his house with a shotgun before ambushing the thug in his yard.

Despite Roth's newfound potential as an action movie star, he prefers to stick to music. His latest CD, "Diamond Dave --" which features a trance version of the Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" -- was released in July.
