Armed break-in Todos Santos
From today's Baja Western Onion:
''Las Tunas Armed Breaking & Entering - At 12:30 AM on Wednesday morning the 24th, an armed intruder entered our Las Tunas rental located at Los
Jardines and Las Playitas. They climbed onto a sombre over a back porch and proceeded to cut the screen out with a razor blade to enter through a
window not more than two feet from my head as I slept. I was awakened and upon standing up, immediately saw what was occurring. In my sleepy state I
assumed the perpetrator was on a ladder and I attempted to shove him backwards. Then I moved away to grab a club I keep handy but decided it was too
far away to grab and get back in time to stop the entry.
When I rushed back to shove the assailant a second time, he was yelling at me in a way that even with my limited Spanish I later realized was a
warning. That's when I saw he had a hand gun in his hand. I was less than a meter from the gun and saw it aimed right at me and instinctively moved to
the side and turned my body just as he fired. I felt the bullet blow by the hair on my arm and hit the wall behind me. He vanished and when I ran out
on the deck I saw him in the darkness head through our west facing barbed wire fence into the neighbors' yard and head west. With the police the next
day we were able to see that the one (or two) perps entered and exited right there.
I hope this reaches everyone that lives out this way because it's so out of the ordinary compared to the rash of break ins we have had lately when no
one is home. They knew we were home. Everything was locked downstairs. Lights were on and multiple cars in the drive. This is a new level of crime and
in my opinion, an attempted armed home invasion. - Name Withheld By Request Editor's Note - Facts presented in this article were confirmed by the
staff of the Baja Western Onion. - ''

Waddayamean? One would need to have a gun in his hand to get a permit these days.....especially after "Fast'n Furious."

I think Lee was just passing on the story from The Onion. He wasn't the victim.

Gotta get these $$^&^!!! cataracts fixed.
Talk about a lame excuse. Brain Fart? Internet connection failing? End of the world? Or just plain screwed up? Yeah, that's the most accurate one.

Anyone have a link or any more details, for some reason I can't find it in the Onion? This is very close to us.

The account that Lee posted that I wrote for the BWO is pretty complete.
More details? The gun was a 22. And the TS Muni Police are not CSI BCS. Bottom line? Lock your doors at night, be aware & diligent.

As much as I love happy friendly dogs, a guard type dog might have given this guy a minutes notice.
Glad everyone is ok. I was about 10 miles away from there on Wed night.
No worries

OK, I confess, it wasn't me.
Doesn't sound like there was a guard dog on the property.
Added precautions are in order.
