i can promise you no 14-year-olds say this.
you'd have to be at least 30.
It is a cool story though.

Indeed. Would read again.

She's lucky it wasn't me, I sleep naked.

Cause everyone is at risk of being burgled/murdered/raped while sat in their living room watching tv.
Well, technically this is true... obviously the risk is tiny, but it does happen and the risk can easily be reduced further by simply locking the door
Really? I remember when we stayed in Field Broughton a few years back. Very remote and if anything we felt more vulnerable. Easy target when you’re in the middle nowhere. Was a nice house though. Guess it depends on your digs!
This, the burglars aren't going to target the rough estate round the corner from the police station where people can barely afford food, they're going to head to the affluent areas with the 5 bedroom detached houses and range rovers on the drives where the police will take half an hour to turn up at best!
Oh I do too.

I had a similar one to that when I was driving a Black Cab.
A young woman hailed me as I turned into New Kings Road from Fulham High St., and asked for Sloane Sq.
I ran into a bit of traffic near the Fire Station in Kings Road, and came to a halt.
A guy ran across the road from the right, and breathlessly said, “Can you get me to Victoria Station in 10 minutes?”
I said, “Well I think I could, but”, gesturing with my thumb over my shoulder, “who’s going to tell her, you or me?”
“Oh dear, I’m so sorry”, he said, egg all over his face, I felt sorry for him.
The girl in the back cracked up.
well it was only today, so you should.

It's more a rhetorical question to highlight the childishness of the post.

Both our doors are always unlocked until we go to bed or go to work and I live in a rough area (apparently).
Some of you must come from really rough areas to be scared of strangers walking in.

I've only ever lived in places where once the front door is shut it can only be opened from the outside with a key (i.e. there's no exterior handle). There is a handle on the inside so although the door is not "locked", it is shut and people outside can't get waltz on in.
I find it utterly bizarre that people leave their front door open to anyone walking in. Dodgy area or not, why would you do it? What benefit does it have? Only things like the OPs experience can come of it...

I suppose having my own house since 1980 and it's never happened once - I'm living on the edge man.
What's better, the one in a zillion chance that someone walks in on you -- or a zero chance?
I still don't see what you gain from having your door open?

I would watch this film.

I miss living where I grew up and we never had any need to lock the door ever.

Saves precious time when you hear the ice cream van

Nope, depends on how you lie though but generally, it's much more comfortable. But then I don't like getting hot when I sleep so I am normally half in half out of the covers.
Best bit is that your missus can have easy access
