We have all heard of a carjacking, but a lawnmower jacking? Imagine seeing your wife getting attacked by a naked man in your front yard as she is mowing. A call came into 911 at around 5 PM last Thursday about a naked man assaulting a 67-year-old woman mowing her lawn. While police were on the way to the scene,…
