Bayside Woman Brutally Raped, Burglarized

Bayside Woman Brutally Raped, Burglarized

"A Queens woman was awakened from her sleep, tied up and brutally raped by a man who broke into her home while two other men ransacked the house as her young son slept, police said Thursday."

Jesus... this kind of stuff really does happen.

"On the rape victim's block, neighbors lamented a community not nearly as tight-knit as it once was, particularly with younger homeowners moving in."

While I agree that this is probably happening (people staying in their homes more, rather than going out and spending time with other members of the community), I don't think that has anything to do with this. I doubt these three men were from the 'hood. That said, maybe someone could've recognized an unfamiliar car or something. I don't know.
