THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds

Sims still can't attack the burglars! This was really irritating to have her standing watching as she was burgled.
Oh god you have no idea. I have a brave, athletic sim in the law enforcement career and he can't do shit to the burglar. The mom from across the street has to fight the burglar for him (and shockingly she actually won). Then the burglar took my sim's newspaper and proceed to read it in my sim's house. The mom had gone back to her own house to sleep by now. So I manually called the police and as soon as the police arrives the burglar ran away. The police didn't even have a chance to fight.
I still got the stolen item back in the family inventory afterward though.

So neighbours can fight for you?!?

It would appear to be the case. My house didn't have a burglar alarm, but when the burglar got in my sim still had the "react to burglar" action queued up. He was a bit slow to wake up though, and that woman came charging in from across the street in what looks to be her PJs and fought that burglar, it was actually quite hilarious.
It would be better though if our sim could fight for ourselves though.

I haven't experienced it yet because my sims live on empty lots and never actually stay home, but sims with the "Brave" trait can apparently be mighty warriors and will fight the burglars, fires, and whatnot, instead of screaming like neurotic idiots that in my family, we would shoot.

That's the description we are given, but it is vague at best. I think more testing needs to be done. The sim I got robbed with had the brave trait. I intentionally put that trait in (along with getting him a law enforcement career) to maximize my chances of actually seeing the sim fight the burglar because that is precisely what I want to happen.
I don't know if the neighbor hadn't come would my sim then be able to fight the burglar himself, but as far as I've seen there are no interactions available on the burglar for me to click.
So either:
1) That the action is autonomous, but since in my situation it was interrupted (someone got to the burglar first) it failed.
2) Brave trait is borked.
3) It only works on sims you do not control.
and I guess those are all possibilities?
