Or give an extra key to some neighbours. Of course you might be unlucky and the neighbours won't be home when you need the key, but it's safer than the key under the door mat.
Luckily my door doesn't have a spring lock, so I can't lock myself out.

Originally posted by NordlysI have burried my key in a jar in my garden 'somewhere'. I do need to get across a ditch first, if I ever lock myself out, though. But it beats paying around 40 euro again...

If you think you might forget your house key again then hide an extra key somewheres. Some people throw one under the front door mat (not my advice), some hide one in the garage or car.
BTW, I locked myself out just the other day, but since it was only the lock on the door and not the deadbolt lock, I simply took out a credit card and wiggled it into the ...[text shortened]... It will then push the locking tab out of the jam and pop the door open. Takes about 20 seconds.
I feel very safe where I live. Besides...the police are around here all the time....LOL....ease up. Sheesh!
If someone feels the need to break into my house and steel my meager belongings then they must be really hard up and can have it all.
I only have one key left now anyways. Can't risk losing that one too. I could always hide it up in my tree. Wherever I put it it's obviously not safe in my posession.

Originally posted by mokkoIt sounds to me, as if you might have left your key in the door lock and now the neighborhood very effective and stealthy pervert/burglar/throat slasher found the key in the door and is now planning his next attack on a very trusting and naive young woman.
Don't remind me. If it seems impossible to do I will find a way to do it.
You should change all your locks and get a security alarm, so that you would at least have time to wake up and call the police that is always close by, but never there when you need them.
P.S. An Experienced Burglar or worse would be watching for the police. They probably have heard of them before. I bet they have heard about keys under door mats, and know about credit cards and all kinds of tricks. Alarms work pretty good if not to frighten them off, at least to help give you some warning. Maybe a neighbor might get a license plate number from the the vehicle that speed away with with your child and the tip of your nose he wanted to keep as a souvenir. Your neighbor hood might be safe and you might be willing to give him what he wants. But you never know what neighborhood he comes from or what he wants.

But as it would never happen in a million years I don't have to worry about any of it. The more I think of it the more I actually don't mind living here.
At least it's safe enough of an area I don't have to worry about burglar alarms and such.

just do the American thing, and get the whole town so off their face on crack so, they no longer no where they are. sure innocent people may end up hooked on crack and people may get raped and die, but God will surley bless your life for protecting a very trusting and naive young women. you do not know, she may be God's special daughter who one day may fall in love with you.
