Home Invasions - a growing problem

In some parts of the country, it appears that home invasions are a problem that is getting worse. From our friends at The Examiner:

<blockquote>Saturday morning in Gatlinburg, a homeowner was shot in the leg by home invaders.

The invaders were armed with semiautomatic handguns, according to WATE in Knoxville, and the suspects made off with the victiim's car, a 2003 Olds sedan, with a Tennessee tag:

824 WTT (If you see this car, call 911)

Home invaders don't call ahead, so it is your responsibility to be prepared when they come calling.
