Re: Home security problem
"I dont answer the phone or doorbell unless I feel like it" - I know somebody who used to do this. Until one night, a couple of minutes after the doorbell went, the front door was kicked in in an attempt to steal keys for the car parked outside. About 11:30 at night when all the lights were off.
He always answers the door now. Or at least turns a light on and sticks his head out of the window.
