John Kass reports:
When you visit the 11th Ward — home of Chicago mayors and Outfit bosses — you don't go empty-handed.
Especially if you're asking questions about an alleged burglary attempt at the fortress-like home of the late mob boss Angelo "The Hook" LaPietra, as I and my young colleague Wings did the other day.
The FBI says the Villa LaPietra was targeted by geezer members of his own crew. LaPietra wasn't just some mob boss allegedly driven around town by Mayor Richard Daley's friend and fashion consultant, Fred Bruno Barbara.
