i mean now with this hot weather, my parents want to either leave a window or backdoor downstairs open at night, but of course in terms of burglaries what i see on the news, and crimewatch here
idk what is safer and leaving everything closed downstairs makes the heat stay inside so i need some advice about this ![]() |

Neither is safer unfortunately. If you have to leave something, I would say the smallest window although my parents left an upstairs bathroom window open that was tiny.......and they still got burgled. There were a gang going round who used a child to climb through small windows and then let the other people in through the doors. There were footprints on the toilet that were consistent of a child aged under 10

one sleeps downstairs, my dad, also now mostly because of a injury (which also prevents him from going to work)
maybe the window then, small gap just enough for some fresh air to come in at night ![]() |

Really all depends where you live. All my upstairs windows are left open overnight, and a couple small windows downstairs. The crime rate is about country average here, but people aren't burgling houses in my area lol (they would also need to mess around with a ladder too, thus being heard), they're burgling the houses actually worth burgling.

It would be silly to leave a window vopen if you don't have a big dog. Burgulars are opportunists after all.

It was a good few years ago but the police were aware of them using a child to get through small windows. They did loads of houses in the area that way.

Our windows lock open, and they're open all year. Wouldn't leave a door open though.
If someone gets in my dog has permission to eat them. |

Have you tried buying a neon flashing sign with 2 fingers pointing at the house, and "free stuff inside" displayed?

I was always taught to never leave the backdoor or downstairs windows open of a night time regardless of how hot it is. Someone tried to burgle our shed in the back garden once but luckily they didn’t manage to get away with anything
![]() We have our upstairs bedroom windows open of a night time but even then they have those special lock things on them so you can’t fully open them from the outside.
