Azira, I thought that was quite witty!!but yes of course I know what you meant Aggie. And yes you do have my sympathy if indeed it's somebody being very inconsiderate.
Be aware of Patio doors/French doors that have the hinges on the outside of the house. A friend of mine was awoken by a drilling noise, only to find the doors taken off their hinges and propped up against the wall of the house for quick burglary. A 'Patlock' apparently is a good deterrent.
