List; I don't think it matters what the neighbourhood you are going into, anyplace can be burglurized. We have a cottage in a remote mountianous area in which there are only 70 cottages and some have been broken into. (Like everyone knows everyone and looks out for everyone) My biggest fear is that where are you in the line of suspects if the place is broken into after you have done the job and left. I will strongly suggest that the customer have a neighbour let me in and let me out and only on rare occasions will I do the key under the doormat or the mail box. I mean, where does a bugler first look? I find that with a little resceduling, 90, no 95% of customers can do somethig to be there when you are. Oh, I do have next Fri. PM off!! If I am not finished the job and the customer comes to say she (he) has to leave and all the locks are deadbolts with key only, quite often they have a garage attached to the house ane I will suggest that I go through the garage, push the button to open the door, push the button again to close the door and make sure I am through the door before it closes.
