(479) Basic Precaution

I have a friend who lives alone in an apartment. A few weeks after she moved in, a dark skin man kept ringing her door bell one night at mid-night. She was really frightened.

As soon as she brought this up, one of us suggested that she keep men's shoes in a visible manner in front of her wooden door.  Another bright spark told her that since the next block is close enough to look into her windows, it is better to keep all curtains close before sun set so that people in the opposite block won't be able to tell that she lives alone.

After she keeps to what was suggested, the harassment did not recur.
