It seems that 'gone are the innocent days' of the Hamptons - our own proximity to urban blight, over building and the downturn of the economy is only going to increase incidents like this one...lock your doors people...and get a dog!
Our hearts and thoughts are with you. Cheryl and I will drop by this weekend for a hug and dinner.
Mike, I agree with everything you said. Please count me in on the "reward."
Vikki, I think you're being a bit dramatic.
I just heard the awful news today while I was at work today. I hope that you are okay and staying strong. I am truly upset about these petty animals that could do that. What cowards!!! I am so "MAD" If you need anything let me know. I will call in the next coming days.
