My neighbors, who live right next to the elevator, leave their door open and slightly ajar.
This is in spite of the fact that the door has extra deadbolts installed, and a metal strip along the doorjam, because it had obviously been broken into in the past.
Oh, and the suspected rapist does get around: [link]
The next few days are going to be filled with the police's near-misses with suspected sex attacker Peter Braunstein, aren't they? After sightings in Chelsea and Queens, a Court Street coffee shop owner says Braunstein ordered some coffee even with a police van outside.
Oh, OK, at least it makes vague amounts of sense to have signs up FREAKING EVERYWHERE if he's been "seen" in Queens.
Dude, you've always got to lock your door!!!
I know! But my last apartment had an automatic lock, so I hadn't gotten into the habit.
A doorknob lock? That doesn't even count.
I don't lock my door because I don't want to lock myself out. I also grew up in the country and you just didn't lock your door.

I also had a doorman and I lived on the fifteenth floor!

This is actually the thing I like best about having a deadbolt -- I know I have my keys when I leave, because I need them to lock the door.
The problem with my deadbolts is that it's a dicey proposition whether the locks will give up my keys afterwards. Also, flimsy old wooden doors not quite living up to the 18" fortress-like walls they're set in.
I probably shouldn't mention that I left the keys in the door all night a few days ago, and that my building is totally open, with no hallways or anything. If you go out my front door, you are outside.
