“Inside they found the hunting knife, an M-100 firework, a Swiss Army knife, a flashlight, handcuffs, an 8-foot black rope, a clear water gun, a laptop and a wire typically used to strangle someone called a garrote.”

Hmmm ...

My everyday carry includes a lockback knife, a Victorinox knife, a Gerber Multiplier, a flashlight, and a pistol.

Jus’ sayin’ ...

So, was it a garrote, or a piece of wire? There's a difference.

Other than the handcuffs and maybe the M-100, you can probably find most all of those things in nearly everyone's houses.
