CN NS: Editorial: Drugs And Crime?
Annapolis County Spectator; The, 01 Dec 2011 - Break and enters are nothing new. Most break-ins are into sheds, barns, other outbuildings, and cottages. Items taken are usually tools, ATVs, and small gas-powered machines. Less common are residential break and enters, usually committed when homes are vacant. Break and enters into occupied homes are not that common, so the recent experience of Albert and Bonnie Johnson in Middleton might be considered an exception. A very scary exception. Publication of a story in The Spectator last week concerning the break-in at the Johnson home created immediate community concern -- partly because the Johnsons are a well-known and respected couple who work tirelessly to help others. Partly because anyone reading the story could picture it happening to them -- at home late at night with thieves downstairs. Albert admitted that he sensed something was wrong. What if, alerted by the constantly running furnace, he had come downstairs while the intruders were still there? The story might have had a very different ending.
