Dindeleux Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 f**k that. I’ve got my cleaners in just now and despite using them before I wouldn’t let them out of my sight.Too many tinkies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I always lock the door. This is actually for the safety of any burglar- the house is such a tip that if anyone broke in I'd probably return home and find them at the bottom of the stairs with a broken neck.

Raidernation Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 When I lived in Ardnamurchan I never locked my door. I recall that when I was getting furniture delivered one time, I was out, door unlocked, they actually put my stuff in the hoose for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I'm a bit concerned by the wording of the title. The OP remembers when I could leave my door open? How long have you been watching me/us, Scary Bear, and what will it take to stop you giving your evidence to the police? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 My olde brother used to get burgled all the time. A local Fagin figure had a gang of kids who would break in (being small enough to fit through little windows). They’d leave the booze but sit in the kitchen and tuck into Coke, crisps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 My house keys were in the lock outside all night. Nobody nicked my car or burgled me. What a civilised place Edinburgh is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 20 hours ago, The OP said: Walking into people’s houses and taking their car keys was a thing I remember being common fairly recently. Made a lot of people in middle class areas reevaluate their policy of not locking their door while they are in, particularly if they had one of the commonly targeted cars like a Mercedes, Audi, BMW, etc in the drive. I also have mates who live in big new build houses in commuter towns who seem to keep getting warnings about people going about trying doors and whatnot but none of them have been burgled so dunno if it’s urban myth. Also : don't leave your car keys on a table near the front door, there is a gang going round with a fishing rod, hooking the keys out through the letter box.

Addie Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I lock the door as the idea of coming home and finding some #beige University of Lifer wearing my underwear terrifies me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid we went on a weekend break and came back to spot my mum’s handbag on the roof of her car and her house keys in the door. Honest bunch the Fifers. Made a change from her putting them in the freezer, washing machine etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Where I used to live quite a lot of cops lived in the area, so the area was consequently quite well patrolled. Just how well patrolled I found out one night when I was sitting watching a film and eating a pizza when two polis walked into my living room. Near shat myself. I'd come home half cut and managed to not shut the door behind me properly - lock hadn't clicked, it had blown a bit open and literally ten minutes later two of Strathclyde's finest were on the case.

Sweet Pete Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 My aul fella leaves his front door unlocked at all times, including overnight and whilst at work, only locking it when going on holiday. He insists that's the norm in his small town. Here in civilisation (upcoming irony intended) I keep mine locked at all times, including whilst home. My old next door neighbour had a dvd player lifted whilst they were home as some chancer noticed the door wasn't locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
