That is pretty amazing about all the cases of crime when someone is merely taking out the trash.
I'm starting to think that I need to quit reading these boards -- I am becoming so paranoid! I'm now nearly afraid to take a walk by myself in my own neighborhood! Pretty soon I will be worried about stepping out into my own backyard to water plants on the patio! I live in what is considered a very safe, very low crime area -- but there is a lot of construction and new homes being built around us. So a lot of transient personnel in and out to say the least.
Just thinking about my daily routine around the house -- there are many times where I would be vulnerable. Often in the mornings, I back my car out of the garage, leave it in the driveway while I get out and run into the house real quick (not locking the door behind me) to retrieve something I've forgotten. I am going to have to stop doing that!!!
