It's their own fault if they don't secure every posession and
signal. How stupid can they be not to know that those around them
won't act with a sense of dignity? If their mailbox is out at the
curb, I bet they aren't even smart enough to put a padlock on it!
Don't put a doorbell next to your door if you don't want me to ring it.
(I've met people that objected to the use of their doorbell. Their
indignation is very similiar to yours above. I never did figure out the
arcane rules of when it's appropriate to use a doorbell, and when not;
I think it involves telepathy.)
At least two houses that I have encountered had a sign above the
doorbell, going sorta like "Day sleeper. Shh. Please do NOT ring the
doorbell. Please knock softly."
