On July 9th I described an attack on a senior citizen, due soley because she did not lock her front door.
Just one week later, Rep. Leonard Boswell (D-Iowa) and his family were victims of a home invasion at their rural farm house. As stated on the CNN website today, “An intruder entered the home {10:45 p.m.] Saturday night through the [
unlocked] front door, physically assaulted Boswell's daughter and demanded money at gunpoint, a statement from the congressman's office said.
“Hearing his daughter's screams, the 77-year-old Boswell -- who served two terms in Vietnam -- tussled with the intruder to try and yank the weapon from him, the office said. The incident ended when Boswell's grandson grabbed a gun from another room and pointed it at the intruder -- sending him running into the woods, the statement said.”
Is your front door currently unlocked?

Dirty Tricks for Savvy Chicks. This e-book applies equally well to senior citizens!
