You were out the whole day and came back home, got to your front door and realise it is unlocked. How do you react?

    So you close back your door and run to the street?

    I somehow neglect to lock up when I go out or at night sometimes but I live in a seniors building which is maintained pretty secure. 
    No illegal entries yet anyway.

    Is it spelled realise too?  I know it is  realize, but maybe it has 2 spellings.

    Anyway, if it were me, I would think I forgot to lock the door.   (I have a bad habbit) but if I were SURE I locked it and it WAS unlocked?   I would NOT enter.   I would go to the nearest neighbor and call the police.

    I almost never lock my door, so I would find it completely normal.

    I never imagined people doing that. I'll get a earful if I didn't lock the outside gates. Not locking the front door is unthinkable.

  • Same here. The risk of me actually losing the key when I'm out makes this more necessary. Plus I have very little worth stealing..

  • What about harm, it is not just someone coming and stealing something, they could come and steal you. No?

  • Possible, yes. It does get locked sometimes, of course. Don't worry, I'll be safe

    I would assume the kids forgot to lock the door.
    About 20 yrs ago we lived in an apartment, our door had a deadbolt.  To lock it from outside, you had to have a key which we did not have.  We came home and the deadbolt was locked.  We knew we could not have locked it--we had no key.  We called the police and they kicked the door in and went in to see who was in the apartment.

    No one was inside.  The landlord had a maintence man come in while we were out and he locked it.  The landlord tried to gripe at us about it. We explained that we did not have a key and never had a key to the deadbolt...she did not charge us for the door.
