A good cautionary tale. I'll remember it.
My friends were a little freaked-out in that condominium for a bit and then eventually sold it when he took a transfer. We were all pretty amazed at the time at how brazen these criminals could become. Their viewpoint is probably similar to many folks...they're just not "into" their firearm and they keep their one revolver around because it tips the scale into their favor when they're safely locked inside their own home. They've thankfully never been the victims of crime before or since that single frightening event.
You sound like a very decent and honorable person, good luck with whatever you chose.
