When I was a kid and lived in a rural town, a couple teenage girls knocked on the door to ask to use the phone because of car trouble. My mom was home alone except for the dog. She used the excuse that she couldn't control the dog (an Akita). The discussion ended pretty quick when they saw him. We later found out that the girls were casing houses for boyfriends to break in. Our neighbor two houses down wasn't so lucky.
Best home security system there is. Works when you're home or not. If someone manages to get in the house grab something and leave with their lives, they earned it.
