Mayberry
In the past 5 days my part of town has experienced:
One break-in attempted assault/robbery at knifepoint (guy ran when woman screamed)
One "make my day" shooting of an intruder by a homeowner (guy is in hospital)
One break-in robbery at knifepoint (2 guys)
One break-in rape at knifepoint
All of the intruders wore ski masks. The first break-in was at a house close enough to mine I could throw a rock twice and hit it. That same night my next-door neighbor had their basement window screen cut and removed, but no one entered their house.
Can I just tell you this is quite upsetting? I know more than one family in this area whose kids are all camping out on the parent's bedroom floor.
This is a nice town but I'm thinking people had better snap out of their Mayberry fantasy. Most of those crimes were not forced entry, the guy got in through unlocked doors and windows.
