Ya know . . . that's the $20,000 question!![]()
After I read about the BTK killer and the way he just walked into people's houses in the middle of the day, I started keeping my door locked all the time even when all of us are at home. My kids make fun of me, but it gives me peace of mind.
And I live in a small town too where crime is rare.
My daughter in law still almost laughs at me for doing this...but....I am in a small town also....we have occasions where perps are missing, escapees, etc., and all they have to do is walk in if the door is open. My storm door is always locked as well as the main door. I have been a member here long enough to see what happens if you don't protect yourself. It may come back to bite me in the butt....but right now this is how I choose to live...forgot to add weird sales people who come door to door and we have had plenty of those. When I have the grandchildren I have a horror if I go outside while they are asleep that someone could come in and snatch one!!! I know I am paranoid,lol.
