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