Too Much Information?

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Nope, can't say that I do. But I'm not into criminal activities (mischief, yes; illegal stuff, no)! 
I always lock the door into my house from my garage. Not just because it's easy to jimmy the door, or break a window and get in that way, but because with my old garage door that wasn't insulated at all (very lightweight), on windy days, I used to spend 3-4 minutes trying to get the damn thing to go down and stay down. A gust of wind would hit as it was going down and it thought it hit something and would go back up, and I'd repeat this multiple times until I got lucky and had a break in the wind. Came home a few times to find my garage door standing open when I was certain I'd closed it and am sure something like that happened and I just didn't pay attention as I drove off. I now have a better, heavier garage door that doesn't have that problem, but if I forget to hit the button, or thought I did but didn't, then I'm safe because my house is still locked up.

In a crappy economy and so many out of work, being a criminal may be one of the faster growing professions....so lets just give them some extra tips.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

I don't think it matters how new your door is.....in the commercial, they show you where to stick the coat hanger at the top middle of the door to snag the release mechanism (I'm sure many don't even know how to do this if the electric motor fails).Science Chic wrote: Nope, can't say that I do.
