“(Recently) a good friend of ours discovered her brother, only 54, dead in his home in Apache Junction. Obviously, this was terrible shock. Today she discovered that someone had broken into his house overnight, ransacked and trashed it, stealing everything in sight — guns, computers, electronics, a safe, and a new Corvette.
