March 25th:

VAN NUYS — In what looks like a hip-hop rivalry turned violent, five armed men supposedly working for one rap producer broke into another rap producer's home early Wednesday morning and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars in music recording gear, jewelry and a safe.

That third incident occurred very close to where I live, and it just happened yesterday, the 26th. Scary stuff!

I don't think any of them are related to each other, but maybe that's only wishful thinking, who knows?

That's the one I'm referring to, DaBeez. The police have more info now, and it looks like a drug deal that went bad. *phew* Not that I'm 100% safe from home invasion robberies, but inviting a drug dealer into your apartment doesn't seem like the smartest idea!

How many millions of people live in the San Fernando Valley? What are the odds of your home being invaded?

How many people died in car accidents in the San Fernando Valley last year? I presume you still drive?

You're more likely to die from a heart attack from reading about home invasion robberies than you are from dying in a home invasion robbery.

Kind of like, the most dangerous part about flying is driving to the airport.

It sucks when you can't even trust your drug dealer.

What do you expect when you have a state that lets out child rapists on parole who then kills 4 policemen?

99 percent of the time these type of robberies involve drug dealers getting robbed.
