Kid Rock -- If You Try to Burgle Me ... I Will Shoot You

WARNING: If you try to break into Kid Rock's house -- causing him to fear for his life -- he will NOT hesitate to shoot you ... at least that's the warning he gave any would-be burglars.

Kid Rock posted this message on his website: "I am an avid hunter and marksman and I will not hesitate to shoot anyone who has myself or family in fear for our lives" ... after a 43-year-old man allegedly tried to break into his Michigan home this week.

He also offered a $5,000 reward for information regarding the man's whereabouts -- and posted security cam pics of the guy (who was on crutches) ... to aid in the manhunt.

The message was received ... Oakland County Undersherriff Michael McCabe confirmed the man was arrested Saturday after two tipsters called the cops to ID him.

The man is currently in custody waiting arraignment. Kid Rock was not home during the incident.
