Thanks for this reminder. Our house is clearly marked, but we're moving and I don't think the new house has numbers on it and I know the roadside mailbox doesn't.
Ineal, so glad that guy was caught and successfully prosecuted. That must have been very scary. I know I often lock the bathroom door when I'm taking a shower and alone in the house. Maybe it's just lingering fears from the movie "Psycho" :shock: , but I feel more comfortable knowing someone would have to knock the door open to get in when I can't hear because of the running water.
