You are a wise man, DaemonSeid.
It is sad because people go against their better judgment and intuition all the time. They think that ONE TIME will be okay and "things like this don't REALLY happen." They may know someone who let strangers in their home and nothing happened to them. Therefore, they choose to push the envelope for themselves and practically bet against probability stats and so forth. It is the same as other instances of putting yourself on the spot as a potential victim, such as jogging in the dark. Sure, it may work THIS TIME but it may not work the next time. More importantly, is it worth it? Was getting that jog in (that craigslist item sold) worth the potential danger? How much did you gain by placing yourself as a potential victim? Were there better ways to do this to make it a win-win situation? YES.
