Personal Safety In Our Apartment

I had a friend ask about our personal safety in our apartment. Here's what I told him.

Our apartment has two locks (one's a deadbolt) and the door outside has a deadbolt. There are only three residential units here: a family living downstairs in the B&B with ten children (all well behaved for the most part) who moved here from Phoenix two years ago, the woman across the hall from Calgary, Canada and yours truly. Things are so quiet that we've stopped locking our deadbolt. Everyone makes sure the deadbolt to the street is locked. There are very few others coming here, except to the family downstairs, and those are folks who work for them: a driver (Mark has a pick-up service for folks coming in at the airport) and their maid (Mom does home schooling).
