I read a halloween story about a guy who liked to climb in open windows and hide under people's beds. I have realised that I did not shut my bedroom window before leaving home this morning. Sure, it only opens a crack, but... Inspiration, plus active imagination, plus generalised anxiety as a character trait, does not equal a happy bunny.

Don't worry, OP. If someone wanted to get into your house, I guarantee you it wouldn't matter if the window was open or closed.

I definitely do not know this from experience breaking into locked houses. No siree.

Yeah, I know, cops and any competent locksmith can get a special key made.

Oh you don't even need a key... a couple of bits of relatively strong steel wire with do, as long as you can get them to turn.

Even with a deadbolt.

I'm fairly certain the level of effort and knowledge needed to climb in an open window is a magnitude of order less than fiddling about with wires.

You would think that... but try picking the lock to your own house. You'd be shocked at how easy it is.

Especially when you use a specially shaped small piece of sheet metal.

I find metal pen clips work pretty well for a tension wrench but your feeler pick can be something pretty wimpy as long as you can get a little bit of a kink in the end of it.

>_>

In my experience these newfangled deadbolts sometimes need something you can heave on pretty good to get them to open. Sometimes that means decreasing the malleability of the feeler pick a little so you can kinda get both turning at once.

Why did you say this

So that OP would stop being worried by a silly story, of course.

But that's clearly not why, because your post is mostly saying that they should actually be worried all the time instead of just now

And also bragging

Oh man I reaaaaallllly yyyyyyyyyy don't care so go bother someone else

yeaaaah I was happy living on an upper floor of an apartment building with barred windows.

That is definitely a good way to not have people break into your place. Way too much effort lol.

haha. I mean there would still be break-ins sometimes, but I think in an apartment like I was in the only way really would be going through the door. It was a heavy steel one with bolts that go in four directions. I'm sure somebody somewhere has figured out how to jimmy the things, though.

Well, yeah. But usually apartments have security systems and that's just not worth it unless you really, really want something specific.

It is a good way to die in an apartment fire though.

Uhh

Uhhhhh

Your mom's a good way to die in an apartment fire?

(I have no good response to this)

Actual don't worry. Crime is at an all time low. So there is that.

I always end up reading Halloween stories before going to sleep. The ones about things hiding under the bed always creep me out. I like to think there's too much crap shoved under my bed for anyone to fit there, but still.

I'm still having a hard time with mirrors after "Occulus". D:

I have heard that he hides in the closet. Or was it behind the shower curtain? Or was that ghosts? I can never remember. Better just stay under a blanket with a flashlight to be sure.

No wait, it was the basement! Did you lock the door and windows down there? Go have a look to be sure.

Hahaha...I was reading that Abandoned by Disney creepypasta a while back and I was actually afraid to come out from under my covers.

then I was reading up on some of our notorious serial killers because they made an "appearance" in AHS: Hotel and then I was even more freaked out and had to jump up turn my closet lights on. In fact, due that kind of thing, I slept with low lights on for a week.
