What would you do if you find your door open when you return home?

If i ever found my door opened. My first thought would be that someone of my family is at home. But then i would think about more possibilities and get scared. Even though most part of the times when they're opened it's because the thieves already stole what they wanted and left, so they probably made a mess, got what they wanted and left. So i would just wait for a little while to see if someone gets out and if they don't i would just walk in and see what happened. Another possibility is to call your own house, as the phone rings the people inside would get scared and leave, and if someone of your family is home they'll answer and you can stop wondering what's inside.

Of course at first I will be shocked because the door is open. And I will immediately think that thieves broke in. But I will be very careful because they might still be inside. So I guess I will leave the door open after I enter to escape in case I meet the thieves. And you are lucky because it was just your cousin who went to your house. I have never experienced going home with the door open and I guess I will really feel nervous if that happens so I hope that won't happen ever.

I came home once when the door was left open and it turns out my sister was the last one to go out and she must have been hurry because she claimed to shut the door but it did not shut. I am glad no one took the opportunity to go in and steal stuff and she got grounded for a couple of weeks, since she did not put the burglar alarm on either.

I always get surprised when the door is open when i returned home. coz my sister sometimes gone home to the province and never informed me that she will returned this day and it annoys me it always makes me nervous thinking thief is inside the house.

i will get my neighbour's help and carefully enter my house.....

scared..i am even sneak into house and preparing myself with sharp things..before thief attack me,i will attack them first..this things always happen whenever my brother return home..he always act like this neighborhood is safe place although he had been robed in his rent home for letting the door open..he had lost his 2 cell phone for his careless attitude..huhu

that has never happen to me but I think I would start freaking out and calling people. Probably even the cops to come and check it out and go to a neighbors house until they checked it out. I would beat my cousin for doing that to me.

Yes i have a couple times in my life. Once i called the apt manager to go in with me. Another time i was staying in my camper and other campers near by so i cautiously entered and looked around.

Wow, that is a scary thing to come home to. I have not experienced this yet, thank goodness. I'm not sure what I would do first, maybe stand in front of the open door for a little bit, trying to hear if anyone is still there, and once the coast is clear, I think I would check to see if my cat was still in the house. (Indoor cat) Check to see if anything is stolen, maybe call out, AFTER I get a weapon and attempt to go upstairs. Once everything seems safe, then I would most likely call the cops.

Lol, no, I have not got into such situation though I have found my house door open many times but I was not surprised at all because I have given a duplicate key to my wife. When we go out together and come back we never found our door open.

If I find my door open when return home, my first thought is "maybe my Dad or Mum is at home" so I will called them at the door,if no one answered me form the house,my next guess "maybe my house was robbed",so I won't enter my house,this situation will make me frightened,and thieves are always bad guys, so I will ask my neighbour or friend to go to my house with me....In a word, I won't go inside alone.....

upto now i didn;t face this problem for our house. but once we(my husband and me) didn;t lock our house and gone outside ,back line of our house. then one friend came to our house for visit and seen our house lock opened. he immediately phoned us on our mobile and informed us.then we immedietely came to our house and talked with him ,that we forget to lock our house and told thanks to him for seeing our house. we thanked god that day , because he saved our house that day.

i faced this situation before.it was so terrible at the midnight. a thief entered into our house.my parents locked their door. me opend my door and slept, maybe he didnt find money. he was intending to leave. he opened the house door and was leaving. at this time, i awake and found he stayed at the door. i was so scared and outcry: mom, somebody is here. then he runed away....

i am renting an apartment with my brother, so whenever i get home and see the lights on, it's only him i think of. But there's this one time when my brother told me he will spend the night on his friend's house because of their project so i was expecting that i'll be alone that night. However, when i came home from work, I found out that the lights were left on and the door was not locked! I was very nervous to enter the apartment since i've no idea who's inside. Thankfully, my brother greeted me upstairs and told me that they cancelled their plans for the night, and that's the only time i relaxed. But i was really frightened by the thought that other people were inside the house and might do something bad to me. I think it's just natural to be frightened when you unexpectedly found something that you're not supposed to see.

Hi swaroopmsc. I never face this situation before and I hope I won't face it in the future. First step that I'll make if I'm in this situation, I will call somebody who knows me. Then I will enter my house and find the problem. Just play cool. f there is a thieve just smile at him and let him do what he want to do.

No.I never faced that situation.In our family everyone has keys of our home.If anybody find the door is locked,they open with keys they have.So no shocking..Lol i think you have frightened for a while

Well sometimes I found my door open but there is always someone at my place. I think once or twice when I returned from my job my mom was surprised because door was open and I directly went to my bedroom quietly. When she heard some voice from my bedroom she slowly checked who is there and was surprised after finding me there.

No, I have never met this before. When my door is open, that means my husband is at home.

It happened to me recently in my apartment. I was returning from a function with some of my cousins when I was startled to see the front door wide open. My heart skipped beating for a second as I walked in. To my relief I found it was the cable TV man. I had ordered for the cables to be repaired, and left the spare key with the caretaker two days ago, and completely forgotten about it.

Did you get angry?If so,tell him DON'T directly
