Your Home is NOT Safe....Please See This!  

oh dear, I might just take a look at that, thanks :) hope my flash is working grrrr darn acrobat.

This is good to know about and definately is worth looking into. The new locks aren't that much more expensive than a good lock though. I've always heard it said that locks only keep out the honest people, if someone wants to get into your home they will get in no matter what we do. How scary is that?

Back in November the burglars broke into my home and stole my computer, gamecube, games, jewelry, tv, cds, lawn mover and clothes. I had to use a burglar alarm system in my home and I am always afraid because they might brake in again.

yeah my local news is running a story tonight about it and the reporter is actually going to DEMONSTRATE how easy it is to do!! how stupid!! " hey all you theives who have been breaking into peoples houses the old-fasioned way, heres a better way to do it!!" thats why i have three rottweilers!! 'c-mon, break in, i dare 'ya!! hahaha!!

Yeah, I saw a video on metacafe.com of a guy that shows you how to do this. All you need is a file and a key. The problem is that if you don't do it right, the key will get stuck in the keyhole, and you'd have to call the locksmith. If a burglar gets his key stuck, he leaves his fingerprints there. Pretty scary nonetheless.

I see this is very worrying. Thanks for warning us. We have secure locks on our house. They are series of several locks together I think they are 5 lever mortice locks. The type of lock they were showing was a single yale type lock or similar.

I am thankful I live in a small rural town that for now is safe. We do not have many burgalaries in this area. I have always had a dog for protection, but sometimes this is not good enough. I have said I would move to a bigger city one day, then I see something like this and am grateful to live in a town that is boring and basically dead. No one even comes here to do anything much. So, we are able to almost keep our doors unlocked. I don't though, I just know a lot of people do. They can take everything they want from my house as long as I amd my loved are not harmed. Thanks for the tip.

I already knew about this. Our door doesn't lock..but fortunately living out in the middle of nowhere has its benefits.

I've actually done it. Not to break into people's houses mind, just for locked boxes I found in our attic once. No key = me lock bumping.

If someone wants to get into a place bad enough they can get in..this goes for high security places to someone's home in the sub-burbs. I don't find this scary mind..it just proves my theory that hardly anything's absolute lol..I just find it a bit sad. Most people are lucky that alot of the local thieves aren't that smart.

Anyway, awesome discussion and thanks for adding me as a friend.

Wow! That is scary that it can be so easy for someone to get into your house. It makes you wonder if your home is really safe or not. Well, I guess after looking at that, its definetely not safe.
