The darker side of landlording

Have any of you ever been threatened, robbed, physically attacked, or felt your life was threatened by either a tennant or a prospective tennant?

I've heard of "tennants" calling to look at a property they want to rent and meeting the landlord and robbing them when they get inside the house.

I'm curious to hear personal stories from the landlords here! I live in the south, a castle doctrine state, and have my concealed carry permit. I'm not violent in the least, but if this situation arose, I feel the criminal would have suffered from "poor victim selection" syndrome.

Any stories?
