Security has to be drilled in. This family was surveilled and followed home.

Charged: Victor Manuel Sanchez is one of the four alleged abductors who kept a Florida family hostage in their own home for three days in 2009.

Arrested: Miguel Diaz Santiz (left) and Oscar Hernandez Diaz (right) are the other two men that have been arrested in the case.

The female ringleader Bianca Dos Santos is thought to have fled to Bolivia.

My comment: No doubt, the female was the one who got somebody to open the front door. This is a typical home invasion tactic.)

We at one time used to get solicitors marching door to door in the neighborhood, despite prominently posted “No Soliciting” signs at the entrance roadway. Funny how those annoying door bell ringers suddenly disappeared after I made the habit of appearing at the front door, all smiles and very friendly, but with a magnum revolver on my hip. I do not exaggerate when I say it's been years since a solicitor has set foot on my front porch, or even seen anywhere in the neighborhood.
