My husband interrupted an attempted robbery from our front porch in the 1800 block of Dexter Ave on September 25. Two attempted robberies/break-ins in one week on the same road - wonder if they're related?

I bet she wished she had something a bit more substantial than a light switch especially if they didn't run away...
