KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City police are investigating after a woman was impaled on her neighbor's wrought iron fence the same day the neighbor's home was robbed, KMBC reported.
Mary Beth Byers, 37, was trying to climb over the fence when she was impaled on it early Thursday morning. Her husband heard her screaming and found Byers stuck in the fence. He supported her to prevent the iron spike from impaling Byers further while waiting for paramedics to arrive.
A resident who witnessed the incident said the woman had slipped 6 to 8 inches down on the fence. Gail Stark, the victim's mother, said paramedics had to remove part of the fence to free the impaled woman.
She was taken to an area hospital, where she was listed in serious condition.
Byers told authorities she went to her neighbor's house to return some garage sale items. But later in the day, the neighbor, who lives in the 1200 block of Northeast 81st Street, reported that her home had been robbed. Police are looking into the incident.

Knives are scary. Oh. I didn't think of that. They'd be included as shrapnel then when the dogs blow up, right?

I remember the tall stone walls in europe......the top was coated in wet concrete and lots of glass beer and wine bottles were laid on top and then smashed with the glass left on top to prevent neighbors from returning garage sale items..........:o)
Good Pups would enforce that all sales are final thang .....Stay Safe !

Since they aren't mentioning exactly where she was impaled, I think my question might already be answered.
OUCH!
