On the positive side, our house does seem to be reasonably secure, at least to the casual would-be burglar.

The negative side? The $185 bill for the locksmith’s services, pissing off the cat who was on the other side of the door, and the approximately hour-long wait in the garage–until about 11 pm–after I locked us out of the house last night. Oh yeah, and my embarrassing drama upon discovering that I’d locked us out of the house last night.
