Local constabulary complained that I was 'baiting'.
Harumph.
Some men won't skulk in shadows.

“The same reason I leave my front door unlocked.

LOL. I rented the upstairs from a retired cop. It was near Newark. He’d leave the house empty with the door open, low lights, tv or music on. His neighbors had doors and windows with bars. He said they’d been robbed 3 times and that most people don’t want to chance being confronted. Retired cop in Jersey...I figured he knew what he was talking about.
Did you have a sign on it that said “THIS DOOR IS UNLOCKED! COME ON IN!”
If you did not, the police have nothing to complain about.
I remember back in 1968 during the anti-gun hysteria following the death of Bobby Kennedy, when people were placing signs in their windows that read “THIS HOUSE IS UNARMED!”
That didn’t last long.
