i have my doors locked at all times, there is a registered sex offender who lives behind me---he creeps me out. but i say don't give anyone an opportunity-----my hubby is a truck driver and he had a man pull gun out and point it at him in traffic, he got his vanity plate number and reported it. never be too cautious but be aware of whats going on around u no matter where u are nowadays. be street smart they say.
