I am sorry if it seemed I made light of this situation!
I was thinking of Kathie's dogs ready to attack...

....they love their Momma!!
Now I have the karate kitties at Gracie's in my mind (just the two of them).
Hadley is a well protected village apparently...send the schnauzers and karate kittie's out on patrol!!
However...I agree that the paper should run at the very least an article about home safety. Reminding residents that this really isn't a bubble as we all like to think. This world is sometimes unsafe and there are some horrible people everywhere. They do not have to report the breakins....but they should stress the possibility and concern!! JMO
I suppose that if everyone calls the sheriff's office for every concern...perhaps they will ask the paper to write something!
