Just as a nice contrast to the common stories of theft in our neighborhood:
We left town for the coast this past weekend, departed Friday afternoon and returned Sunday night.
Upon returning home, we noticed that the sliding glass door on our deck was open. Not just ajar, but all the way open. Had thieves gutted our house and left the door open? Nope, it was me, my stupid mistake, forgetting to close and lock the door after my last trip to the car.
Nothing was taken.
This is particularly notable since the back of our house faces a somewhat public location (I won’t say where, in case I make this mistake again).
So the weekend passed and the only uninvited guests in our defenseless home were a couple of houseflies. Not all is bad in the Central District!
And yes, I will triple check the doors next time.
