Considering how many orgers know where I live, I'm not sure I feel comfortable answering this question.





No, for real.

My place is not secure at all. I live in a partial basement with very large windows. My apartment complex does not have a lock on the foyer door and my locks (3 locks on each door) are not the greatest.

You know they couldn't leave your place without logging in first. So there you go.

Isn't it kind of scary though, when you think about it? I mean I am not here to put the frightners on you, but I have had some random dreams about people breaking in through my windows.

On a lighter scale, I knew a guy who wrote his name and address on his KEYRING/CHAIN!! Wtf? and another who,if he lost his key had a piece of string hanging infront of his letterbox inside his house, so anyone (if they knew) could put their hand in, grab the string, pull it through and open the door.

Dumbasses.

I have 3 locks on my front door and 3 on the back door. I could definitely be more secure in my home, but I guess it's alright considering that nothing ever happens in my town.

I will say, I live in a very safe neighborhood, all things considered. There isn't a lot of crime at all, let alone violent crime. Someone was shot in Uptown last year and it was all over the news for weeks. My mother was worried about me until I pointed out the reason it was all over the news forEVER is because it just doesn't happen here. People are shot in north mpls all the time and it barely gets any coverage, if at all.

Oh hell no

Oh course it's scary. I have a large window right over my bed and that's very freaky. But meh, there's not much I can do about it until I am in a position to move. Having a dog as a deterrent makes me feel a little better.

My last apartment I used to leave the door unlocked all the time when I was home and sometimes even when I'd run to the store or something and couldn't find my keys quickly. Because I had a weird private entrance tucked away in a place that wasn't visible to the street or alleyway, no one who hadn't been in my house would even know how to get in.

I stopped doing it, however, when my upstair's neighbor's transient roommate drunkenly walked right into my apartment when she'd locked herself out of the house in the winter. It scared the HELL out of me till I realized who it was. I had to call the landlord to bring her a key. And sat with her on the stairs while she waited for him and cried about her messed up life. That was an evening.

CarrieMpls said:

me too. I live in a boring place. But it's good, as I can head off to the exciting areas, but not have it on my doorstop. Where I live is a cul de sac too, so nobody can walk through unless they are purposely visiting a house there. So kids don't hang out where I am. But maybe that IS a false sense of security. I feel safe where I am. But is ANYWHERE really safe?

1. Get address from Muse
2. Enter window with pink curtain at the top.
3. Turn right, grab TV
4. Exit.

Windows? If someopne wants to get in, they will find a way.

JustErin said:

Dogs. What have you got?

retina said:

See? That's what I'm sayin!

CarrieMpls said:

PS - My tv is cheap anyway. If someone broke in to steal something they'd probably just tear the place up looking for ANYTHING of value. I really don't have anything.

JustErin said:

And you have Hannah. Don't forget her. She can cuddle them to death.

CarrieMpls said:

Darn it!

MissMe said:

that would be a feat since i cant even open them if i wanted to

CarrieMpls said:

What's that matter? My friend has a Mercedes and some shit broke in and stole his mobile phone.
Damn, if he had any sense he would have taken the car too.

horatio said:

Glass is easily smashable.

MissMe said:

right?

They'd probably take my CDs and try to pawn them for $1 a piece. Damn crackheads!

I am not going to be able to sleep tonight now.

CarrieMpls said:

Makes my blood boil!
They don't know the value of Prince Cd's.
