I grew up NW of FW, not to far from there. We never locked our doors (not even when we went on vacation), left keys in the car, road in the bed of a pickup over rollercoaster hills and never ever wore sunscreen. We lived dangerously. Boatclub rd isn't much different from my hometown. A crime like that was unthinkable and up until that night, may still have been the case.

When and where I grew up, where I live now, how my sons grew up, where they live now…When something goes bump in the night, ya go look and help out or chase off the deer, raccoon, dog, next door kid looking for his ball, guy next door that came over to get a tug out of the ditch he drove into while sneaking home from a few extra hours at the range, fishing hole or fav hunting spot... This whole,,, stay hidden in the safe hose, arm the turret guns, fill the moat, and wait for the forced entry, while dialing the police is just a strange concept to me. (ok I admit, I’d like to have both a gun turret and a mini gun to go in it. Buts that’s just a personal want..LOL)

I also grew up in a place where front doors were left unlocked, and keys were left in cars. (Somebody might need to move you so they can get out.) But that was several years ago, and in rural south-east Arkansas. Many a time, I've stepped outside after dark to, "tug a neighbor out of the ditch he drove into while sneaking home from a few extra hours at the range, fishing hole or fav hunting spot..." Not anymore, and not in Texarkana.
I now live in Texarkana. Not a big city, but not the neighborly country environment I grew up in either.
This lady lived in Fort Worth. Unless she KNEW who was on the other side of the door, she should have stayed inside.
