I live in a pretty nice area of St. George, Utah...a town that was at the very top of some insurance company study of America's safest cities or something like that last year. Unfortunately, this kind of crap happens in every neighborhood and in every town. A few nights ago, around 6pm, my roommate heard our sliding back door open. He knew it wasn't me because I was in my room taking a nap...so he walked downstairs and peeked his head around the corner only to see a silhouette of a tall man in our kitchen. My roommate out here is a little nutty...ex-military and an avid sword collector...so he went quietly back to his room, grabbed a frickin' katana blade, and tiptoed back downstairs. He caught the guy in our living room and the guy, seeing a crazy man with a sword, ran out the back door, hopped the fence, and ran like hell. Talking about it later, we were glad we were home and the guy now knows my roommate is a crazy man with swords. I'd be willing to bet the person that busted into our townhouse was a local meth junkie...seems like those are all over the place. Sadly, I think we're going to see more of this as the economy continues to tank and more people become, in their own minds, desperate to maintain certain aspects of their lives.
