Home invasion

A number of years ago I was the victim of a home invasion: three men broke into my home while I was sleeping, and stole my stereo and some other things. My dog woke up, I woke up, and the men fled. I called the police and the men were subsequently caught by the canine unit.

Last night I heard about a home invasion in my neighbourhood of an entirely different nature. A home-owner had a party with a number of friends. At some point he noticed a man he did not recognize, but didn’t give it much thought at the time. In the morning he woke up, drugged and groggy, to find all of his friends gone and the univited guest still there – along with about 20 other univited guests.

These people held him hostage in his own home for two weeks, and he was drugged for much of that time. The invaders were crackheads and prostitutes, and they basically turned his home into a crack house. Eventually he had to pay them to leave, but not before they trashed his house and stole his ID and everything else worth stealing.
