"We've been burglarized 10 times, and nobody ever sees a vehicle or a person," says Tom Sapien...

His stepdad, Robert Daniele, is a trucking-company executive who likes to hunt; his mom, Mae Dean, is a secretary. The family moved to the well-kept neighborhood with Georgian homes for the space--their house sits on a one-acre plot--and the schools. Heritage is regarded as one of the best in the area...
