Rubber band on front door.

It s a sobering thought for anyone who worries about home. The rubber band can hold the door open once the lock is disengaged. The rubber band serves to wedge the door open for the intruder. You don t even need to open the door.

Burglars place a rubber band around the door knob allowing them to barge into the house as soon as the home owner unlatches the door without having to wait for the home owner to actually turn the knob. When she finally opened her front door she found a rubber band wrapped around her doorknob. All you have to do is unlatch it. Now if the door closes you can push it back open with your body even if your hands are full.

According to kim s local sheriff this is becoming more commonly seen in burglaries. Then twist the rubber band once and then loop it around the other knob. To keep that from happening take a rubber band and loop it around one doorknob or handle. But the truth is that criminals can and do exist everywhere even in the most unassuming of towns and there s no telling whether or not your home is next on their list.
