wow that was a near miss.

It always amazes me that caravans have the kitchen right next to the door, in my mind the kitchen should be placed as far away from the door as possible, especially if the dwelling only have one exit.

We can't do what Susan does over here in the UK. We have Millenium burglaries where thieves stick a fishing rod through the letter box
and steel your car keys. Mind you in the states you normally have external mail boxes so I suppose its not such a problem.

Old SOP's die hard for me, my clothes are kept as a pile next to the bed with keys, wallet, mobile and the like kept in the pockets. You never know when the mortar alarms will go off but you can bet its when you are in your deepest sleep. Out of bed into clothes and out the door or window which ever is safest and you have everything with you. Simples!
