In my neighborhood? Pretty damn good.
Burglary is an Olympic sport around here
=).
Believe me, I have had plenty of customers tell me that (before they
got nailed) they had been meaning to: 1) copy that key that they
only had one of before it got: A) lost; B) stolen; C) broken;; 2)
get a key made for that lock that they never lock because they never
had a key for it, though the maid or the housesitter or the friend
(or whoever) did not know this or forgot it; 3) get the windows
secured; 4) fix the locks that had been getting finicky; 5) rekey
their house because who knows how many people have copies of that key
from before they moved in; 6) etc.
Let's see:
1) Have duplicate copies of all the keys in the house in a sealed
envelope at the neighbors.
Then you will only need a locksmith when you are locked out while the
neighbors are out of town (or otherwise unreachable).
2) All locks are locked w/ the respective key.
3) Windows close and lock, just aren't "shatterguarded".
4) All locks receive annual maintenance.
5) Rekeyed all the locks the week I bought the house.
Hey, I'm doing pretty good. heh.
I agree. (And I like your comment about the key at the neighbor's (or
neighbors' (since you did not use an apostrophe)) being in a sealed
envelope. I assume you have also marked this envelope to prove it's the
same envelope?)
