Crooks Wearing Comcast Uniforms Terrorize Baltimore Resident
Beware, Baltimore readers, a couple of crooks in Comcast cable uniforms and with a Comcast van are on the loose. According to police reports, the pair broke into a man's apartment, handcuffed him, and shot him in the stomach. The two men demanded money, though it is unclear if they got away with any. They used their uniforms to gain access to the victim's apartment, from which the victim tried to flee by jumping through his window after he was shot.
The gun shot, while certainly painful, is not life-threatening, and the victim should be released from the hospital soon. Police are searching for the pair, who may or may not actually be Comcast employees. [Source: ABC News, Via: Consumerist]

I have no doubt that they were ComCast employees, trying to collect an overdue bill. IMO, they are the most arrogant company in this, or any other state in the country.

Too bad they weren't from Comcast's customer service...then they would've bungled the robbery miserably.
