How to discourage unwanted house calls
If a pizza delivery guy knocks on your door, don't let him in -- especially if you haven't ordered a pizza. Always use the peephole to make sure you know who's out there.
- Keep your entry and balcony doors locked, using deadbolts and chains whenever possible.
- Don't open your door to anyone. Even if a hotel repairman shows up, call the front desk.
- Don't leave keys lying around when you're at the beach or pool.
- Consider buying a portable door alarm, available at specialty shops.
