I know there's a menacing weirdo looking at them, so I'd want to be extra sure he couldn't get it.
Now, imagine that the menacing weirdo had included a return address on his letter. Would you report him to the police? If he got locked up, then that would be one way to make extra sure he couldn't get in.
And then the problem is solved, do you don't even need to fix the locks...
