Me too. I've had an incident when the "bad guys" did knock on the doors. Scariest thing in my life, what the police later explained is that burgulars want no trouble and try to quietly slip in and out of your home. Offenders willing to do the worst don't always think ahead.

Agreed. BTW this is the way most home invasions begin ... with a knock on the door. Once they're "in", your life, your women, everything is potentially at stake.

I've heard of some people knocking on doors around here too that were planning on breaking in. A friend of mine said she was at home during the day when a knock came at the door. It was a woman. When no one answered the door, my friend saw the woman go across the street to a van and two large men got out and put on gloves then they proceeded to try her doors and garage door. Luckily, everything was locked and they decided to go elsewhere. They had done several burgarlies in the area --their M.O. was to use no forced entry but to just slip in when a door was unlocked.
