This, if ever.weeks
Most locks are for honest people.My house is never locked unless we are out of town. Even then, thieves could just break the glass door off of our deck to get in.
I did this is college and got robbed. Gf left the door open came home and it was an in progress thing. Noticed vcr out wires extended but connected. Was on 2nd floor. Went to first floor called the cops. They went through my place all clear. Long story short, I caught the guy in progress, he busted my neighbors door down and hid under the couch and left his jacket and my answering machine under the neighbors couch. No one knew until neighbor came home. So he was crapping is pants in the next apartment under the couch while po po was in my place.I've lived here for almost two years and have yet to lock the doors. It was bizarre at first but my roommates never did so I just acquiesced. So two years at least.
This is in Orange County, CA. Never ever would have entertained the notion when I lived in Albuquerque.
What happened was the cops left, lets say my door was north, his was 5 feet away east. Hours had passed any my neighbor went to open his door and it was shatter near the lock. I told him what happened and we called po po again. When they went in there was a jacket half under his couch right near the door and my answering machine under it. This was inner city Erie. Probably a kid.How do you hide under a couch? Must have been a slender fellow.I did this is college and got robbed. Gf left the door open came home and it was an in progress thing.

I grew up in what I thought was middle class. It was probably that then. Now really run down. Houses on top of each other. But I knew 50 neighbors. If something happen someone knew who did it. Now I know very little neighbors, all an acreish apart. No one knows what happens but my direct right neighbor, that old man knows all. Just happy he likes me.Both my woman and I come from high crime areas in our childhood. I can't answer the question, to me someone is breaking in the first time I left something unlocked. I lived in ultra low crime Germany and still locked my doors.
Did you give her a xmas gift?Where I live now there is a stay at home mom across the street that always hangs out on her porch which faces my house, it is the best mid day security system you can have
No, but she did sort of ##### me out.Did you give her a xmas gift?Where I live now there is a stay at home mom across the street that always hangs out on her porch which faces my house, it is the best mid day security system you can have
How and why?No, but she did sort of ##### me out.Did you give her a xmas gift?Where I live now there is a stay at home mom across the street that always hangs out on her porch which faces my house, it is the best mid day security system you can have
I back out of my drive way in the f 150, some landscaping thing is barreling through the subdivision. I get out of the way and scrape their mailbox. Box white, truck black. Stop see a streak of white on the truck, their mailbox is vinyl. I leave my truck there and do the right thing. I walk to the house, glass screen door open, no one there and knock. I hear footsteps I know she has kids and is wondering who the hell is knocking. Takes at least a minute and she comes to the door. I tell her I hit her mailbox and that I am sorry and will replace. She says..............How and why?No, but she did sort of ##### me out.Did you give her a xmas gift?Where I live now there is a stay at home mom across the street that always hangs out on her porch which faces my house, it is the best mid day security system you can have
F 150s are pretty sweet. She had to let it slide.Nice to finally meet you.
You know they also look at that security signs you have up for a date. Then they knock on you door. I wont answer but somehow my wife did and turned into a total moron. The guy was tell her what we have, I told her to shut the door, she kept talking. She proceeded to tell him our internet connection was not hook up to our alarm system at this time. And I did what I needed to do. I yelled I am going to shoot him if he doesn't leave my house now. He stated he didn't want to be shot. I was saying 4.......3.......3 he left. I have guns in the house but it is not my thing.GordonGekko said:Lot of people who do flyers or knock to sell things are actually casing your home or neighborhood. Also in nicer areas, more "work" is being done. I.E. roof work or painting or additions, etc, a lot of these crews have felons because they are cheap labor.How long before you think you would be robbed? Lets say one car in driveway if you have a driveway. Screen doors locked but main doors open.
Rule of thumb, always buy drinks or sandwiches or pizza or whatnot for anyone who contracts to do work around or in your home. Always. To me, this gives me full no guilt justification for shooting you in the face with my shotgun if you steal from me. I believe when you give, you should "give" without regard to any kind of return or thought of return. In the case of people working around or in your home or business, that goes out the door. I'm giving you pizza because I want to be on good terms with you. And if you steal from me anyway, sorry, you will have to get shot.
Nicer neighborhoods get hit more because they get cased more. Just like how the poor kids get driven to the nicer neighborhoods to Trick Or Treat. How thieves work is the same.
Most thieves who hit houses understand the basics. Always test the knob first. Go for the easy kill. Look for a house that's been clearly left for a while ( newspapers stacked, mail stacked), front lawn unkempt, flyers already jammed up on the door. When they go into your home, they slide the bottom drawers out first, then work their way up, saves time.
If someone does enter your home to steal things, locking the door versus unlocking it can change the crime and thus the punishment and charges if they are caught. For that reason alone, if people just can't get past the "trouble" of it, people should do it.
I would have finger shot the hell out of him.You know they also look at that security signs you have up for a date. Then they knock on you door.

If you left the doors unlocked maybe they would feed themselves.If my dogs could feed themselves. I could leave the doors unlocked for a decade and not get robbed.
Not many people are going to break into a house with a 95 pound German Shepherd looking out the window at them. And while our Corgi wouldn't scare anybody, he makes plenty of noise.
When I loading up the truck, I kid walked by and didn't see me but said, you can move but I will find you to my wife. I walked out but I wasn't going to scare this kid, he was real.
It was just something that happened when moving her to the house we live now. She had a Camaro with tee tops, they took a knife to the seats in her car before I knew her. I hit a real life moment, why does my wife want a gun so bad, it is because the #### she went through. Much of this happened before we were together but there was a 11 year old in the house and I was in the house went they pulled the screens trying to get in and they were laying outside in the morning.When I loading up the truck, I kid walked by and didn't see me but said, you can move but I will find you to my wife.

I moved them hence the one before. But there was phone calls saying they were going to get her, many times cops were called. Some said if you shoot him drag him inside. They found out who he was after we left, and I know it was the kid outside the truck now, but didn't know at that time but did because what he said. Dude ended up getting 10 years for rape of someone else. that means he has been out for a long time.S__________?It was just something that happened when moving her to the house we live now.
