Disturbed by newspaper report

Information is the name of the game in the newspaper business and it sure isn't against the law to disiminate it now is it?  I just wonder if the house was robbed of stuff that "grandma" had in it (like antiques) if the Ol' Vindicator could be sued for public dissimination of such FACTS?  The Vindicator might as well have hired one of the Salvation Army Bell ringers to stand infront of the house and ring the bell proclaming "Empty house - empty house" and occasionally "probably no alarm and possible antiques" and "Read all about it in the Vindicator".
May their two souls rest in God's Peace.

This past week our local newspaper ran a story about the passing to two sisters who lived alone on the south side of Youngstown.  What I found troubling about the report was that the story not only included the name of the street on which they lived but also contained a photograph of their home.

I think that publishing this information is an invitation to criminals to commit another home burglary.
