    The Tallahassee Police are looking for two men in connection with a home robbery this morning in the the 400 block of Conradi Street.

    Lt. Ken Bergstrom said two well-dressed men knock on the door of a 23-year-old man's apartment around 11 a.m. They pretended to be Jehovah's Witnesses, and they said they were going to church, one carrying a Bible.

    The victim said he was getting ready for church and that's when the two men barged in the apartment, according to Bergstrom.
    They tied the victim up with video-gaming system cord, and took an undisclosed amount of cash from the victim before fleeing.

    I saw this story this morning. I was going to start a thread on it, but I had already met my quota. So, I'm glad you posted it. I was wondering if it will effect the witness work in Tallahassee. This could make people a little bit leery.

    If all the guy lost was his money then I think he should be grateful. Usually the cost is a lot higher than that! :(

    I'm sure if those brothers donate the money to the World Wide Work, all will be forgiven.
