I'm not sure where this story belongs, worth mentioning though as an example of a new tactic by criminals; bypass security system by kidnapping owner:
"As alleged in criminal complaints that were unsealed today, at approximately 9:00 p.m. on April 11, at least four men wearing masks and gloves, two of whom were armed with handguns, broke into an apartment on Gravel Street in Meriden, Conn., bound four victims with duct tape and covered their heads with pillowcases, towels and jackets. Three of the perpetrators then forced two of the victims into a victim’s vehicle and drove to Lenox Jewelers in Fairfield, Conn., where the two victims worked. At the store, the perpetrators stole jewelry, watches and loose diamonds valued at between four and five million dollars. They then fled in the victim’s car, leaving the two victims bound inside the store."
