Locks and the Bump-Key

If you think your door lock is a secure protection, look at this video of the bump-key. (Warning it is a slow down-load, but worth the wait.)

There is nothing like a German Shepard! Ours chases full grown black bear up a tree. In Alaska the neighbor puts in a mercury light for security and then leaves the door unlocked. I haven't taken the keys out of my car in years, unless we go to the big city, Anchorage, but with the dog in the car, no problem. Every car has a dog! Most everyone leaves home with a house-sitter in place. Someone needs to feed the dogs and there are plenty of single people looking for shelter in winter. The big dog-house alone, in a prominent location, makes a statement. One might add a big chain, anchored to the ground, with the last link broken. --- Then there is the door sticker, "This house is protected by Smith & Wesson."
