Still arguing with the family about how secure our house is when we are out!
We have 3 kidults all still living at home. I have lost count of the arguments we have had, when we come home [eg yesterday after a 4 day break away - DH and me on our own] to find all the upstairs windows wide open [it's hot] and no-one at home, apart from our little dog and our ES who is always in his room in the back of the house with headphones on, so he can't hear!
We are forever telling them to shut their windows when they go out, but they simply don't believe that anyone would be able to break in to steal anything. Our YS's ex-gf leaves her back door open all the time and has never been burgled, etc etc. We can't have restrictors on bedroom windows [due to building regs], but we do on the downstairs windows.
We have tried the "it's our house, we pay the mortgage and the insurance and if anything does get stolen while the windows are left open we won't see a penny of any insurance claim - so it's our rules", but they just scoff and say we are paranoid. Are we?

Are my windows secure or am I paranoid?
