alt Hacker NewsIf the neighborhood was constantly being canvased by criminals checking doorknobs, so your concerned neighbor went over to your house to check your doorknob, and then let you know if you accidentally left it open, would you also accuse your neighbor of being a criminal trying to break in?
Yes.
I have personally done this before, the correct sequence of moves is:
1. Call your neighbor, ask for permission. 2. Check the door 3. Lock the door
If you don’t have their phone number, you are not on good enough terms to touch their lock.
