Do you lock your front door at night?

Yes, we lock up every night.  We lock our cars, too.  We don't live in a particularly dangerous area, but my house was robbed and my mother raped by the burglar as a child, so I don't take chances.\n\nBesides, with a parrot and a great deal of electronic equipment in the house, there's no reason to tempt fate.  The electronic equipment can be replaced, but you can't replace a pet.  Since parrots are expensive and hard to trace, they're pretty big targets for theft.

I am 26 years old and still afraid of the dark. I sleep well either drunk or completly exhausted.  If I am not either of those, I sleep with a light on and music playing.  The reason for me doing this is because I was molested as a child.  I later heard that many surviors also do this.  Maybe you were hurt as a child and that is something that you felt that you could control by being able to see your surroundings?  Good Luck!

Use a night light.  Turn it on everynight before you go to bed.  I'm sure after awhile you'll forget about turning it on and won't even realize it.  Also, lots of times if you open up your curtains or blinds a little bit light from outside comes in.

Yes-One night while I was sleeping-someone tried to get in my window. I woke up called the Police-by the time they came he was almost in-he ran. Since only one car came and he ran through yards-he didn't get caught. He tried again and I called neighbor-when lights went on at their house he ran. Always between 1 and 3 in the morning. I have dogs now. A couple of my neighbors had incidents too. Always got away -probably lives around here. \nI didn't sleep for a while-heard every noise . Police can not watch everything. The police also ask me what I was wearing-what an insult-guess they have too. Very scary.

Yes they do. When you visit, always go in the front door, never the back.

You need to tell the police about this and you also need to tell your parents  if you are still living with them.  If not then you need to tell you friends so that they can help you and keep you company.  Get a restraining order and it may also be smart to limit your activities for awhile and make sure when you do need to go somewhere that you are never alone.  Always keep a friend by your side and make sure you're always in the public eye.  Limit your night activities.  It is better to be safe than sorry.

Lock the door and keep the key with you.

It depends on which locksmith you call, how far you are from him and how much he wants to come pick your lock at a given time.  If you call a mobile locksmith at 3am and the last thing he wants to do is get out of bed, he might quote you $200+ dollars.  If you say you'll pay it, its worth it to him, otherwise he might opt for sleeping.

I am the same way, I even have a note on my front door saying 'Please dont disturb" and if I hear the sreene door open I put the TV on mute, I only answer my phone if I want to, when I go outside I dont even want to make eye contact with ppl.\n\nTo answer your question; I watch TV all the time and I'm on the computer alot.

I used to work security for a major department store and we did the same thing with people as a prank. \n\nIt simply sets off the alarms at the doors and creates a little havoc, but other than that it's completely harmless. \n\nSecurity at any retail establishment cannot (or should not) stop or detain you simply for setting off the alarms at the doors. Certain types of cell phones and other electronic devices can set the alarm off as well.

Answer questions on the internet, I'm doing that right now!  There's a lot of good answers ahead of mine, dance, excersize, walk in front of an open window, but depending on your situation, go outside if you can.  If you live in a house can you sneek out into the backyard after dark, if you're in an apartment, maybe go out on the balcony?  Of course, use discretion, don't want to get arrested (or assaulted).  Do you have a significant other?  Greet him/her at the door naked, always leads to a fun time.
