Unlocked Backdoor Ajar

    Unlocked Backdoor Ajar

I have a personal rant ... against myself regarding what is becoming an increasingly frequent problem. It seems that my door is both unlocked and ajar or simply quite ajar as to negate the value of any lock itself.

Just this morning I awoke to yet another ocurrence. I would start logging these but I fear what the records might indicate.

Luckily, though the neighborhood has certainly experienced urban decay over the years — there has been no attempt to break in (er ... push open the door) during the night. Actually, I don't think it's so much a downward curve but just a demographic shift from poor white trash to poor trash comprised of mixed nationalities

Safety is my paramount concern. I have two heavy steel doors on the front and back entrances.

What good are these if you can merely push the door open and gain entry because the door is not fully closed or worse: unlocked or unlocked and ajar as well. All of these conditions have been recent ocurrences.

Let us hope that I acquire some modicum of increased responsibility in my security efforts prior to retiring.

This way perhaps you won't read of me in the local paper falling victim to some criminal gaining entry and beating me to death or shooting me or something.

I don't understand my continued problem with all of this.
