Crime Prevention Tip: I have a question for everyone, Who would have opened their door without looking through the door viewer first? This student did a great job by not opening the door. When you are not expecting anyone, and there is an unexpected knock at the door, look through the door viewer first to see who is there. In addition, this case also illustrates the need to have your doors locked, even when you are there. You never know.
