interesting. What types of substances were stolen too? Surely they would'nt tell the cops about that now would they?
Clearly more to this story than we are being told.

The four invaders were described as three black or Hispanic males and one black or Hispanic woman, police said. They were believed to be between 5 -foot-10 and 6-foot-2.

All were wearing dark clothing and masks, police said.

Witnesses said the suspects escaped in a red hatchback with a loud exhaust.
This information narrows down the possiblities of who did this? How many red hatchbacks with loud bumble bee exhausts?

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking when I read the article initially. Glad to see I'm not the only one whose mind went there. Obviously there are some very real victims of home invastion (Diener for example) but for the most part, there is a REASON people came to rob you. Either you robbed them first or you deal in illegal substances and they think you won't call the cops, etc. Stay out of crap like that and you are 99.9% less likely to have your home invaded.

Whether or not the "victims" were dealing in drugs, this incident still indicates increased crime in the area. Would be interested to know if "victims" same race/ethnicity as attackers. Incidents of this kind do not generally cross racial/ethnic lines as they generally involve prior associations.

LOL! I was thinking the same thing, I just didn't want to be the first to post it. Taking a drive down South Ann Street can narrow it down a bit...
