There is no front door lock, however strong, that can prevent any burglar sufficiently dedicated to breaking into your home from doing so. So we should all stop spending good money on locks. This saves us the bother of unlocking the door every time we want in. Personally, I'm insulted that my neighbors continue to lock their doors. They're treating me like a criminal. Me, I like people to come by my place, even when I'm not around. Come on over. If you see something of mine you like and leave with it, well that's all right. It's a compliment to my good taste. I'm sure you're so poor that I never could have sold it to you anyway.
