This is all so interesting as I read these posts. I live near the woman and it did indeed happen! The doorbell rang. The woman went to the door. Two men, with clipboards. In a villa, the garage door is right next to the front door. They shoved her in the garage. Small, sweet dog was killed with a hammer. 1:30 in the afternoon. They got spooked and only took a gun that was in a drawer and left. Husband was golfing. No, the news will not tell the entire true story. Village watch trucks have been here a lot lately. But that will not help this tramatized woman or bring back her sweet little puppy dog.
Yes, if they are caught they need the same punishment!

Consider this on home invasion:
Just imagine that you pick up the paper and you see where a home invasion took place and the police were called and the coroner was also called to pick up two robbers who are clearly dead with bullet holes in their chests.
The next day in the paper, another situation is defined where a robber who is deceased needs to he picked up by the Coroner.
The next day in another paper, two robbers are found dead in a home of an elderly couple and the police are investigating.

Well folks, how long do you think this would continue? Problem solved!!!
We lived in Idaho and Utah, at that time, home invasions and robberies were almost unheard of, except in the obituaries.

Bizarre thread, very, very strange.
16 pages of posts, lots and lots on conflicting information with very little known for sure.
We know the incident happened at the home of a 64 year old woman in Harlow Villas in the Village of LaBelle. The home owners dog was found dead at the scene. The rest seems mostly speculative.
The thread does seem to expose prejudices/biases common to many Villagers: the concealed carry freaks, the koolaid drinkers, the dog lovers, the dog haters, and most commonly the anxiety addicts (those who simply cannot be happy unless they have something to worry about or be afraid of).
It seems there is more to this story than meets the eye.
