I have made a similar mistake, and I can see why people do this (the check out the house alone part).

I have a neighbor lady who came home to find an outside door open. She is pretty sure that she left it open, but wants me to check the house with here (I didn't bring my gun b/c no CHL at the time). No police showed up, no intruder showed up, and everything turned out fine.

Right or wrong, a lot of people feel a reluctance to call the police when they are fairly certain that everything is probably OK. In my case, I don't want to bother them when I feel like it is embarrassing, and that they will be irritated when it was just a noise or a door that I left open.

The police would have been called out to my house a few times by now if we called them every time an outside door was found unlocked when we got home or we heard a noise. I don't understand the people who say call the police 100% of the time. They either must be perfect and have super hearing, or they must have the police out to their house a few times a year.
