Home Invaded -- Key Repairs

In 1985, this Fichet key opened Apt 5E, 66 Madison Avenue, New York City.

"A pro takes 6 hours to pick it," the locksmith said, 2 hours after the guy who stole my roommate's purse and keys aborted his first attempt to hit the apartment.

This week, one of my sons asked, "Are we going to be okay?"

Insurance replaces things, I told him. But … it’s up to us to rebuild our feeling of security at home. That takes time. We’ll make changes.

We can do this. I promise: I’ve done it before.
