Fox News
A retired violent crimes detective says a group of men tried to invade his home over the weekend, allegedly targeting his 20-year-old son, who has autism, he said.
The first time, the group used eggs to vandalize John's car parked in his driveway. The second time, video captured the four masked men attempting to get into John's home, but they fled after hearing some loud banging sounds.

"Four young males between probably 18 and 20, something like that. Three of them were lining up next to the door. One of them was coming up to the door," John told FOX 10. "I'm a retired violent crimes detective. That's a textbook home invasion. They beat on the door, they get you to answer it, and they overpower you, then they're in the house."
