While note technically a home invasion, the fact that it happened in the victim's driveway is close enough to be included here.
Ganley...had a few beers with a buddy after work and arrived home...just before 8:30. p.m.
He turned down his alley and pulled into his drive.
Two unfamiliar men driving down the alley caught his eye. They backed up behind his truck and got out, acting strange.
One of the men asked for directions "and said he was drunk," Ganley said. "Then he pulled out a gun."
Most of the time, the alley serves as the driveway, as it does in this case. Ganley got home, and was carjacked and kidnapped in his driveway.
No more than five minutes later, he sensed that he had been abandoned. "I waited a couple of minutes, then started beating on the trunk lid." He used a belt buckle to beat on the latch trying to get it to pop open, spinning around on his knees and back. He was dressed warmly, but had no gloves. "I was beyond mad," he said.
The lesson: if you see suspicious people around your house, always leave yourself a way to get away, or leave and come back later.
Take car of yourselves.
