I am so sorry it happened to you. It IS a very disturbing experience. It happened to me twice. The first time- broad daylight, work day, between 1 and 415 pm, on a VERY busy corner, 11 unit apartment building. No one heard/saw a thing. Thankfully, my RB cat Tex was frolicking in the backyard unharmed.

The second time was in November, 2004, my first day back to work after J was born. It was done by one of the kids I had hired to do yardwork. Of course, duh, I knew who did it.

It took me a while to get over the first one, and the anger of the second one at least kept me from crying all day long being away from my 2 month old baby. Insurance covered everything each time, thankfully.
