Well, that could do the trick. The same method gives the same message here. It must be one of those 'universal signals' mentioned earlier.

I need to rig up a mirror outside my office window so I can see the front door from here. I can't count the times I've wasted a trip to the front door then been caught out with that glass front. Nowhere to hide, then!

Now that is funny

There were days I used to crawl or go to another room that had a window that looked on the front door!!

I love our front door, but it is a pain for it to be glass as well. Thankfully we don't have very many salespeople/religious nutters/or whomever coming to the door.

Half of our windows don't even have blinds or curtains of any kind. I leave cars and house unlocked, wife locks everythin gup tight which aggravates the shit out of me. Go to get something out of the truck... locked. Back into the house, find keys... Back out to the truck... There's nothing in the truck worth stealing and the truck itself, I wish someone would steal it!
