[QUOTE="Praecepta, post: 693965, member: 20025"] Wonderful! Feeling safe in your home is a basic need. Depending on your budget, there are several things you can do to feel safer. First of all don't open the door unless you know who it is. Place the note there saying your son has moved and the occupants don't know where he is. Use the word "occupants" and that will imply you are not related. Get some pepper spray. You can spray that in the face of an attacker. You can make a "safe room" out of a bathroom or a closet. Install a solid door and special locks / bars on inside of door which will make it very difficult to break through. You can lock yourself in, then use your cell phone to call for help. If you have a car with a key FOB, note these have an emergency button on them. You may be able to press that while inside your home and make your car horn alarm - make all sorts of racket! That might drive away an attacker. Also you can get a home alarm system with wireless "panic buttons" Pressing that button would sound an outside siren and summon the police. And you can get bars on the windows - a bared security door. Or a peep hole in your door to see who is outside. You can also stay at a friend's house for a bit until this passes over. For safe room construction, search google.com for the words: safe room [/QUOTE]
