Another Reason to Be Careful & Mindful of Your Surroundings

This story is about my father in law.

http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2009/03/11/20090311mr-hammer0313.html

He was out for his normal walk when the man came up behind him and hit him in the back of the head with a hammer. When he fell to the ground the man hit him in the face and fractured his cheekbone. Then my 66 year old father in law kicked him in the chest, stole his hammer and fought him off. Incredible. 

Please guys, don't live in fear but be mindful of your surroundings. Don't walk by dark alleys at night, know who is around you. Keep your cell phone on you if you're out walking. Just be smart. You never know who is walking the streets beside you.

5 staples to the back of the head and a bruised cheekbone where the fracture is. Other than that, he's just pissed that he can't get his helmet on so he can ride his motorcycle. Lol, yeah I guess he is pretty kickass. All 5'4" of him!
