It's to keep them "safe". Meanwhile, he's sending his sons on crime-fighting missions.

I guess. It still gets pretty ridiculous though.

I agree. Considering he doesn't seem overly concerned with his sons' safety.

Not to mention that the criminal's don't bother to threaten the Hardy family, even after they've been locked up.  I can't think of which Grosset & Dunalp book it is right now, but the Hardy's house actually gets bombed by a criminal who doesn't want  Fenton and the boys investigating.

I'm not sure which book that is either, but such events do sound familiar from the Original continuity. I know in the revised version of The Secret of the Old Mill, Fenton Hardy gets a threat wherein he's warned off the case otherwise it will mean danger for him and his family. So certainly criminals in that series threatened danger to the Hardys and actually carried out their threats a number of times.

I think the Hardy home get bombed in the original text of The Flickering Torch Mystery.

One thing I is odd is that Fenton works at home. It wouldn't be so easy for criminals to strike at his family if he didn't advertise his address on his business card.

Yeah and it seems that Frank and Joe are the ones who are targeted.

Which makes for a better story! :)

This whole "war" thing is funny because they really aren't similar enough to compare. However, if I HAD to pick, I would pick The Network because they were in the Casefiles.

but then again, I'd also choose the Assassins as the best villains.
I'm not on here as much or I just come on for a few moments. So I trying to keep up with posts. Sorry for being MIA. I've been off on a mission with Frank and Joe! :)

Yeah. So would I in that case.

The funny thing is, that I seem to recall it being in one of the later post-revision era G&D texts.

Do you know when?  Why do I keep thinking it might've been one of the UB's. . .  ???   

SDLagent

I don't remember it happening the UB. I was thinking of the Original series. It happened often in that series.

Yeah, it seems to me that it was somewhere around Bombay Boomerang and The Jugle Pyramid.
