Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Seeking advice re mentally ill community member

[Eris Weaver (erisw]

I am just astounded by this whole story. How is this woman getting into
your houses and your cars and stealing things? Do you all go to work,
school etc. and leave everything unlocked, keys in yours cars? Has it
not occurred to anyone to LOCK their houses and cars, set some
boundaries, etc? Is it OK in your community for non-members in general
to just wander onto the property and into your houses?

(I don't know your community, so maybe I'm missing something obvious?)

Why do some people think it is somehow OK to compromise their own and
their children's safety in this way? If someone you didn't know came
onto the property and engaged in these behaviors, you would call the
police. Why is it OK if you know the person? 

I am just baffled.
