When I was a student, one of my housemates went home for christmas leaving the front door of our shared house open (fortunately the rest of hadn't left as well). This was just off the main shopping street in Hammersmith and being a student house contained several stereo systems, computer etc. All completely untouched despite the fact that the door must have been open for 3 hours or so.

Reading all the above thread has almost restored my faith in human nature. Whoever said that the answer might be to leave doors open may be right after all. After all, Mary's house was broken into just lately and her computer stolen. Then here we've all been leaving the house totally accessible and nobody bothers!  Enough of this frivolity. I'm off to buy some hedging. |

And my house couldn't have been more locked than when it was broken into! The day we left the front door open (and it was all day) we were fine. Nevertheless, I think that if the same burglar had happened to be passing that day, he'd have taken advantage of the open door. |

...or indeed perhaps thought: 'oh, they've left the door open, they're probably either home or back in a tick' and gone away! |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

My burglar wouldn't have given a damn whether I was at home or not. I was at home when he nicked my computer.

I'm watching the memorial service for Princess Diana, and marvelling, as ever, at the Royal Family's apparent ability to sing without opening their mouths. Gordon Brown made a good effort. The joint choirs are ruined by a loud wobbly soprano. It seemed odd, to say the least, to sing the words of the Agnus Dei to Elgar's Nimrod, the hunter.
