Two handguns and two pistol permits were stolen from the New City home of a man whose name and address are listed on the website of a local newspaper as possessing gun permits, police said.
The thieves ransacked the house Wednesday night, breaking into two safes on the home's third floor and stealing a third safe. The guns were in the stolen safe, police said.

We have a difference of opinion on here according to which homes they will target. Some think thieves will target the ones without guns, but I think they are excited to know the location of the guns. The Journal News staff should be flogged on the square for printing the thieves a map.
I haven't read all of the articles so I don't know if it has been discussed, but I've been wondering if Gannet and/or this paper can be liable for civil charges for damages incurred by the people being victimized by this map?
