TOPEKA, WA - Elderly man considering strongly worded letter to editor about armed intruder ransacking his home "optimistic" about potential for public response. "I think it could really get an important discussion started," he was heard mumbling, under the sound of a glass display case in his living room being smashed. As heavy footsteps approached his bedroom door, he continued, "people need to learn a serious lesson about public responsibility and the rule of law." At time of printing repeated calls to the house, last seen darkened, with an open and only partially hinged door, were unanswered.
