“(Buckhead) is probably more of a target because it’s a wealthy, wealthy community. I understand that,” Tiffany Kent said.
Still, she says no one should have to go through what the home invasion victim went through.
“I would hate to be that person,” Kent said. “I can’t imagine having to recover from that.”
Police tracked the car for a while via the woman’s computer. They still haven’t been able to locate the car or the suspects.
