Don't open your front door....

for salesmen or anyone for that matter that you don't know. Wednesday another woman was assaulted by the Northwest Promenade, which is basically a stones throw from my street. Here's the article as it appeared in today's paper.

"A 25-year-old Naples, Florida man was arrested on sexual assault charges after he barged his way into a Bakersfield woman's home and lewdly touched her, police reported.

The incident happened Wednesday at 2:18 p.m. in the 8700 block of Hoodsport Avenue just north of the Northwest Promenade shopping center.

The suspect, Lee Collins, was selling magazines door to door and stopped at the victim's home. She said she wasn't interested, but then Collins asked for a glass of water.

She left him with the front door open to go to the kitchen to get water. He came up behind her and put his hands inside her clothing, police said.

She objected and told him to stop, which he did. He left.

She called police who found Collins several blocks away and arrested him on charges of burglary, assault with intent to commit rape and sexual battery, police said."


Those of you that know my history know why this bothers me soo much. Just be careful, some people don't care if you have children, are overweight, thin, short, tall, beautiful or not. There are predators everywhere. Be careful ladies.
