Crime in the city.....

5 things:

1.  A burglary is not a home invasion.

2.  If you wanna know what a home invasion is like, read Elmore Leonard's Out of Sight.  (Also a movie starring George Clooney & Jennifer Lopez.) The book, at least, is violent and ugly. 

3.  There are only 6 states that have laws against a "home invasion." and outside
of the U.S., it's not mentioned in the lawbooks at all.  The states with laws against home invasions
include Illinois, Michigan, and Nevada.  (Think Chicago, Detroit, and Las Vegas.) 

4.  Also, a burglary is not a robbery.  

5.  I don't know who did it, but somebody stole a bunch of flowers from our front yard and then went down the hill to the adjoining yard and stole 7 bushes and about 6 of those spiky grass things.  I have my suspicion, but nobody seems to be exercised about it.
