(5,946 posts)far up it is useless as a window unless i am on the stairs. It is a strong oak door on an old house so not likely to break. it was 3 drunks, I know because they were toaking, I don't know where they thought they were, they were just thrown out of a high end restaurant on the end of the block (something I used successfully when they wanted to switch from a byob to have liquor license and others around tried to stop it), anyway here we are in a triple A residential neighborhood at 3 am. They didn't know me, they wanted to use my bathroom, I did not even open the door, I just called the police and let them know, they peed on my azaleas and got into a car (this is the real scary part). they were gone before the police arrived. Normally they are there in 1 minute since the police department is a block away, but the few police cars on duty were not near me. I sent them to hunt the drunks, I don't know if they caught them. Are front doors not built strongly anymore? At no time was I afraid they were going to break in, Perhaps it was the off key singing that made me feel safe.But i did get angry when they pissed on my plants.
