A recent article described how a older woman at home alone opened the door to someone who appeared to be a flower delivery person at 9:45 am. She said she peered outside and seeing the flowers, opened her front door. The delivery person was not alone and he and his accompanyists tied her up and robbed her of money and jewelry they found in the house.
I think this is a warning. We simply are far to trusting and need to think with our brain...not our hearts. She could have simply said, leave them on the front stoop. Police recommended looking at their delivery van from a window to see if it's marked...look if there is anyone else around the vechicle.
Many homes' front doors have peep holes but someone could be kneeling under the peep hole when you look out. You don't have to open the door ...you can talk to whomever without opening the front door. We can buy our own flowers.....better to be safe. While this is very important for seniors, these tips are applicable to anyone.
Is there anything that you for added safety you could pass along to others?
