My wife agrees. Her words of wisdom; "Always dress before cooking bacon in an open skillet."
And don’t stand too close even if you’re using the microwave.

There was murder in my hometown of La Crosse, Wis. two years ago. A young woman who had an apartment close to downtown left her ground floor front door unlocked. Some Asian gang member who was looking to burglarize whatever he could, walked into her apartment through the unlocked front door. She heard footsteps and thought it was her boyfriend. The gangbanger saw the young woman, pulled out a gun, and shot her dead. Moral of the story: never leave your door unlocked in a city. The La Crosse metro area only has 1-2 murders a year out of a pop. of over 100,000, but it does happen.
ne of my first places on my own was an apartment. One day, I was cooking, clothed, when someone used their key to open my locked door. Thankfully, they screamed and ran back out. That was also the apartment that had a leak so everytime the people upstairs bathed, it came down into my tub and everytime they used their kitchen sink it came down in my cabinets. And the waterheater leaked all in the closet. Took forever to get it fixed. It was one of the newer and nicer apartment complexes in the city. Then there were the night noises upstairs. And my car was broken into. Apartments? No thanks. Never again.
