because sexual predators are everywhere.

Now I can go online and look up sex offenders and I notice two in paticular: a man who was convicted of child molestation and a man that was convicted of rape, and the fact that they now live just a couple miles from my house. A girl that went to my high school a while back was raped in her own home. So yeah, a_random_guy01 might just be a sexual predator.

Just to underscore this....A few years ago I was living in an apartment complex. I came out of my apartment one morning about 9am to head to work - I am NEVER home that late in the morning...I actually had left that morning at 4:30a and came back... I made it down the stairs to my car and was searching in my purse for my cell phone to make a phone call and realized I didn't have it...

I got out of my car and a guy who had been standing by a car a few down from me walks up and introduces himself to me. Says he's new in town and asks if I know of anywhere he can get a job. Keeps talking to me etc. I cut the convo short because I needed to get to work..

He seemed like a completely nice guy - I got no weird vibes for him at all. I am an EXTREMELY suspicious person so...I felt totally safe, went upstairs into my apartment. I locked the deadbolt on the door ONLY out of habit. While in the bedroom looking for my phone I thought I heard my doorknob.....before I opened the door I peeked out the peep hole and dude is standing on the landing. i think he had tried to open my door!

I called my boss before i walked out the door, got her on the phone....THEN opened the door...smiled at the guy - told him good luck, and talked to my boss until i was locked in my car. I thought it was creepy but didn't really think much of it....

Until 3 nights later when I hear commotion outside my window at 3am....I look out the window and the cops are arresting the man who had talked to me that morning.

The next day I looked at the sherriffs booking log online.....

What was he arrested for? Rape and aggravated assault.

SO. That morning. If not for my habitual door locking. It could have been me.
