On doors. And keys.

Yesterday morning, on leaving the house, I was convenienced by the fact my keys were still in the front door lock.

This morning, I noticed the back door was unlocked and not actually latched.

I'm wondering whether to leave my keys in the ignition tonight.

If you do, give me enough warning to get over that way. I could do with a new car.

Oh dear. We do this from time to time, too.

Oops. Sorry dear, that was me - well, couldn't really have been anyone else really :-)(I was outside yesterday evening doing unspeakable things with litter trays)I know the cats are desperate to get out but talented as they are, they have yet to master unlocking the back door.

I live in an area where leaving doors unlocked overnight or even whilst you pop to the shops is no big thing. I can even leave my car unlocked overnight. But things changed recently as there have been a spate of car thefts where the thieves have entered the open house, taken the car keys, done whatever they do with it and returned it quite often with the fuel topped up.

The only reason this was noticed was because sometimes it wasn't returned to the exact same spot or the mileage increase was spotted.
