There is no way to lock the door from my garage to the house. It is a simple turn and push lock that only locks from the inside, so if I choose to go out the garage door, it stays unlocked. In the past, I really haven't thought anything of that because the garage door is closed.
I came home tonight, in the pitch dark and realized I had to go in my house with who knows what waiting for me.
I would have called Saint, but he was pulling an overnight.
I called my Dad and made him stay on the phone with me while I walked through my place checking out all the little crevices. Just an after thought, there really aren't very many places to hide. Thank goodness. My only concern is the spare bedroom which no one resides in, including not having a light, so I had to track down a flashlight to search it.
Not a thing was out of place. Not to mention my cats were acting completely normal. Not that they would do anything should a stranger arise other than maybe attack me because they are scared.
I am assuming that my garage simply jumped back open when I closed it. Which means that my house was open to anyone for almost nine hours. I shudder.
And yet, not a thing was wrong.
