Home Invading Thug vs. Disarmed Homeowner

Don't worry, everything's fine, folks. The victim of this latest home invasion in Boston was only assaulted in his home at night, tied up, and had his valuable possessions stolen by some lawless scumbag who, naturally, got away scot-free - virtually guaranteeing he will strike again.

Police Probe South End Home Invasion

Victim Not Injured

BOSTON
-- Boston police are looking for a man behind a brazen, late-night home invasion in Boston's South End Wednesday.

Police said a man made his way into an apartment at 106 St. Botolph St. just before 10 p.m. Wednesday.

There are reports the man climbed up construction scaffolding surrounding the building. Once inside, the man tied up the homeowner and made off with cash and jewelry.

The victim was not injured.


But, as both the headline and the story itself emphasize, "the victim was not injured". Well now, that changes EVERYTHING! I guess we can all stop locking our doors now. Personally, I plan on leaving a tray of finger sandwiches out before going to bed at night.
