    This remark triggered a recollection that might serve as a cautionary
    tale.        

    My studio is also at home, in the garage, and I don't broadcast it,
    fortunately. About 6 years ago, on a hot summer night , we left the
    back door of the house open for air. All six of us were in the house
    (small, unpretentious bungalow in Chicago suburb), and my oldest
    daughter and I were to catch a plane to go look at a college very
    early in the a.m. I got up at 5:00. My husband, who often works late
    at night (freelance writer), went to bed at 2:30. Lights were left
    on, and we have a medium size dog.                

    When I got up, my purse--with $400 cash and our airplane
    tickets--was gone from the dining table. A man (later caught) had
    walked right in, taken it, and walked out. The dog slept right
    through it, perhaps because she's used to footsteps at all hours, or
    because he didn't sound furtive, though she's generally very
    vigilant. Needless to say, we missed our flight, and lost all my
    money and credit cards,etc.
