Think about it this way: You see someone hauling a large screen TV
out of a window or a door; which one looks more suspicious?
They also give you breathing room when you answer the door, so a
criminal can't rush in when you open the door.

They also reduce the intrusion level of solicitors (like
Mormons/Jehovah's Witnesses/*PIRGS) who blithely ignore a "No
Solicitors" sign and bang on your door anyway.

We put up a "no solicitors" sign because they were waking my nephew
from his naps.

A guy rang anyway and I asked if he read the sign. He told me "I did
but I don't smoke."

I had a couple of black girls bang on my door a couple of weeks ago. When I
pointed to the sign and stated, "The sign says no solicitors", the smart one
said, "We're not prostitutes!".

Ah, so they didn't charge you anything.
