The other two threads on this pointed out that the writer listed the complete home address for the family.
Some of us have written the author to tell her that it is inappropriate to do that as they are the victims and shouldn't be subjected to the worry that every criminal in town now knows where and when (grandma leaves for work at 3 a.m.) to go the steal a gun collection.
I'm sure he saved the local police and jailors far more than that over the next few years.
