    Why lock the door to your home when you leave? Any adult male could easily kick it in. So why bother locking it? Because it only takes a few seconds and it makes us feel safer.

    Am I the only one who doesn't lock his door? Like most houses, I have this clear, fragile panel strategically spread around my home. If it gets hit by a stray rock from the mower, a ball or whatever, it just shatters. I think it is emergency escape access in case of a fire? Why lock your door, it takes a second to break a window and NO ONE will hear it or care unless they too are stalking you. So those that are paranoid, if it makes you feel better...go for it.
    I know you are naysayers are thinkin it, why do I lock my VX doors? Breaking the window out of a car is a lot louder and more noticeable than someones backyard window. Plus, I would guess that auto break-in is more prevalent than home since it is a lot safer for a criminal. You never know what is on the other side of the door to a house; a mute Rottie, a silenced 9mm, who knows. Sometimes I dream about someone coming into my home, I wouldn't make a peep...just a bang....bang....bang bang bang bang...then "Damn, who is gonna clean all this up?"


    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    If they break my window they get to deal with my two best friends...and believe me someone will be making some noise!
    The first one there will be Diablo...75 pounds and fast!


    Then they get to meet 175 pound Luc!

    Nice Billy,
    Mine is only 45lbs, but since he is half dingo, he has the radar ears of a dingo that can rotate all the way around, people can't even pull into my driveway without him going off......at least I will know they are coming.

    Hmmm, nice dogs. Unfortunately, most crooks previously case your place beforehand. They'll be bringing over some nice tenderloin steaks for man's best friend to munch on and occupy your dog's time while the crooks go shopping within your home. Here poochy, poochy; here poochy, poochy.

    Me, I prefer claymore mines on trip wires and Vietnam-era pungy-sticks on swinging pendalums. Plus, I don't have to feed booby-traps-- I just need to remember where they are.

    Paranoid??? Not, really. I consider my home like the Roach Motel-- "You check in; but, you don't check-out".
