Healthy Defense - Why prevention matters:
On Sunday, July 21, at around 7:30 PM, a resident went into the bedroom of his home on the canyon in Oriana, just outside Boquete, and opened the window to let in a little air.
His wife Carey out of the country, he retired to the living room with his three incessantly yappy dogs to watch TV.
Within minutes, he was astonished to see two men, dressed entirely in black, emerge from his bedroom. Within seconds, he was lifted up and slammed to the floor, apparently losing consciousness.
The dogs had no clue about the coming attack and provided no warning.
His next memory was that his legs were tied (with garbage bags it turned out) and a pistol was pointed in his face, a butcher knife from his kitchen across his throat. He was dragged by the arms into the bathroom and tied up further.
Dragged into the bedroom, he remembers the robbers screaming "MONEY, MONEY" into his face. He offered them his wallet, which they cleaned out, leaving behind credit cards and ID.
Then he was gagged, blindfolded and tied to a chair. He could hear them stealing two TVs from a closet, a big screen from the living room and other electronic items, including a desktop PC computer. Finally he heard them loading it all in his pickup truck, taking his keys and driving away.
Some 40 minutes later, he was finally able to escape from his bonds. His cell phones were gone and his land line did not work. He walked to a friend's house, the Hotline was called and the police arrived promptly.
