Sounds to me like she didn't lock the flyscreen door with the key - just flicked the finger latch on the inside.

All someone has to do is put their fingers through the flyscreen and move the latch and it's unlocked.

Ours has a large thick piece of perspex riveted to the flyscreen door around the handle/lock area so even if someone puts their fingers through the flywire they can't reach the latch.

The attached picture shows our type of flyscreen door and the red line (added by me) shows where the perspex is riveted on.

Yeh, nice.

My 97yo nan has a sliding flyscreen door with an attempted tear by knife in it but it is a scarey thought.

She always locks up though however with a key.

One day she didn't: people came and took the keys off the table and took the car- found with needles inside it and it was like some mini daihatsu thing or something.

Obviously years ago when people actually used needles to do drugs.

I suppose when Heroin comes back into fashion the needle junkies will reign again but, .... scary shite.

She was home when it happened so just pure luck they didn't attack her.

Almost intriguing if I wasn't still shaking at the thought of it.

She actually wants to leave the door unlocked more now... always saying you can't live your life scared and stuff.

bugger. Still living at home though so you have to give her credit... Cool

We do remind her we would seriously prefer her to simply lock up mind you and she actually decided we might be on her side and listened. (We hope Shocked

)

If you're home wouldn't a 'break and enter' be called an 'invasion'?

Oh yeh: very very good point not be missed that one!

Wink

Carl D posted his thoughts on the matter and he showed an example of over-protection. Reinforcement of the chief defensive tactic being used to make it stronger and a dog is of course exactly that if not the primary protection reinforced by other means.

Dogs are great!!

You can't leave a hand or a foot loose you know!

Our perspex has spider web cracks in it from people trying to force it, I'm gonna replace them with aluminium ones so they can't see through them and can't break it.

This is true, i live in a relatively high crime area but have never been the victim of any break in or attempted break in. Neither have my neighbours.

My place is like a fortress - it has to be in the further out eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
The insurance company demanded it after I had a break in
& burglary 13 years ago.

Haven't had a problem since except as you say -
anything left outside lasts only hours.
Even the $28 beautiful brass hose trigger nozzle was
taken from my garden hose.
I replaced it with a cheap $5 plastic one.
A nice bonsai tree in a little glazed pot lasted about 12 hours.

Crime is out of control in Melbourne.

I'm glad but it can happen so do make sure you haven't got old style Windows that can be simply forced etc...

The worst thing is if your place gets done over in the middle of the day the fact that the neighbour who is always home didn't hear a thing and doors were smashed to get out and stuff!

The appearance is that of: they had plenty of time and it's like they knew no one would hear a thing.

I suppose they have a lookout and mobile phones but the appearance of organisation is what is the scary part.

We had guitars but they can't carry them: they just want jewellery and they seem to not even take passports !

Most local crims know to steer clear of our immediate vincinity.
