Terrified Arizona residents are rushing to build panic rooms after the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie<\/a> \u2014 who has still not been found nearly a month after she was snatched from her Tucson home.<\/p>\n

Kevin Hand, who specializes in break-in-resistant \u201csafe rooms\u201d at Sportsman Steel Safes in the Grand Canyon State, told the Daily Mail his business has been flooded with calls of late to quickly install thick steel doors and secret hiding rooms in people\u2019s homes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been a huge spike in calls and business since the Guthrie case,\u201d Hand told the paper, noting that many people are scared they could be ripped from their beds, never to be seen again.<\/p>\n

Sportsman Steel Safes has built heavy-duty doors and safe rooms for wealthy clients in Texas and California for decades \u2014 but now middle-class families in Arizona have emerged as his newest customers, with consultations already booked for weeks, he said.<\/p>\n
