“Joseph Sapienza stands with his walker Friday afternoon by the front door of his Davis Avenue home, where two men reportedly tried to break in Thursday night. The 68-year-old disabled Marine taped a note to the door, visible at bottom right, warning the suspects not to try it again.”
Sixty-eight-year-old Joseph Sapienza suspects the men who attempted to break into his Gastonia home Thursday night thought he would be an easy target because he’s disabled and uses a walker.
But after scaring away the would-be thieves, Sapienza taped a note to his door, in which he attempted to make it clear that his trigger finger works just fine.
