My apartment is the farthest from the front door of our building, so if someone's in there it means either everyone else in the building has already been robbed and I don't stand a chance, or they have keys and are probably my sister, babysitter, or husband.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Noises from inside my house are most likely cats. Possibly cats that are not my cats and therefore technically intruders, but I'm not gonna grab a weapon to deal with them.
That said, the water-turn-off-thing is right by the door, but more so I know where it is than to be a handy weapon. My plan if I came home and thought something was terribly is to stay outside and call 911, maybe knock on a neighbor's door.

I now have a 3' length of steel pipe. It's very 'in the basement with the butler.'
While on hold with verizon, internet came back. Of course. But I have the logs indicating is it going up and down and up and down at will. But I think I'm done with them. I need a better connection speed and would like to get off my ancient phone lines.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Or they want to start in the lowest traffic area. Near the front door is not good planning.
It's a consideration.

I suspect that some of the noises are chipmunks who have discovered the dry food. Although this morning there was a noise that could totally have been someone sliding in through the dining room window. I was too tired and went back to sleep.
No weapons nearby, at least potentials that I'm not talking about. Maybe I should move the butcher's block around the other way...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I was just about to lament my lack of weaponry by the front door when I remembered we usually have a large pair of garden shears right there. But dialing 911 would probably be the first thing I'd try.

Hmm, I should practice trying to lock the bathroom door. It's one of those cheap ones where you pull a small tab out on the side of the knob, and usually I have a door hanger over the top so it never closes properly.

What show prompted all this, ita? Is he a lawyer or a cop?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
