So where the hell is the second home invader? Now I know why Channel 7 had their truck parked on that corner today. Hope this wont be one of those stories where they dont delve deep enough. As a neighbor I really want to know if this crime was random or targeted at this house in particular.

Yes, Channel 7's Angel of Death was there

Dan Hausle himself.

I am going to bet there is more to this than just a random robbery. Guys from Revere just don't show up in Roslindale looking for random houses to knock over.

Staycationing, perhaps?

There's a lot of wealthier homes they could have robbed between Revere and Archdale.

more than likely knewe the people in that particular house, had some sort of vendetta going against them, and targeted them for a home invasion.
