That... might explain why every interior door in my own house (a) has deadbolts on the *outside* and (b) has had at least one, usually more, panels kicked out.
I'd originally thought it was just because the man was a semipsychotic drug addict who left his stash in the furnace, but he also had a Rottweiler, and "keeping the dog shut in" makes a marginally better explanation for the outside-the-door-locks than "keeping the teenagers shut in," though he only had the one Rottweiler and wouldn't have needed to force-latch that many doors, and, er. XD
My cat has gotten himself lodged in the plumbing and under the deck, but I'm lucky he's never managed to close me out of a room yet. (Of course, given that the door panels are currently held together with clear mailing tape, I probably wouldn't have to get a saw to get him out. He's also figured out how to open every door that doesn't have a deadbolt -- and these are slippery round 1926 doorknobs, not the push-down handle type. I swear the little brat must have retractable thumbs that he uses when I've got my back turned...)
