Civic service reminder: Lock your doors and windows

Got home today, and noticed the screen was halfway removed. Aluminum frame window with one of those things with a couple of wing bolts that clamp to frame and secure it.

I go inside and tell the wife someone tried to break in today, she doesn't believe it. She comes out, looks it over, and says someone rang the doorbell about 10:00, She does not generally answer the door during the day, unless someone calls or she is expecting visitors. The dogs were both outside playing in the back yard. They were barking up a storm at the time the doorbell rings. They settled down and she did not give it another thought until I got home. Day before yesterday she was telling me about home invasion type robberies in the area, yet she is surprised, because that was at some apartments, not a house. I suppose they would not have gotten as far as they did with the screen if the dogs were inside at the time. Couple of hundred pounds of dogs would cure me of wanting to open that window. I am a non-crackhead though, perhaps a different thought process than the miscreants in question. I left them a note in window, in case they come back.

Glad she did not have to defend herself.
