That is one thing I remember from when I lived in San Marcos, students are awful about leaving their apartments unlocked. (From the linked article is sounds like the intruders walked right in.)

I guess having your door locked would cramp the free flowing party mentality that comes with communal living...

I hear that. I wouldn't leave them unlocked (I live in a residential area though), but the apartments have had a bad rash of walk-in robberies and window crawl-ins with all this nice weather.

Alright- leave it to Anita to set the story straight.

Moral of the story, don't bring a .22 cal to a real gun fight. The home owner is very lucky to be alive.

Well the latest news says the homeowner used the .22 cal., and the burglar was carrying a "b-b" gun. I guess the criminal was that stupid...

At least the homeowner used what he had...
