Mine front porch is safe.

Safety tip: Don't open your front door for a noise without first looking to see what the noise was. Yes, it could be your child's friend. On the other hand, it could be an individual too intoxicated to recognize they are at the wrong door. Or, it could be someone trying to break into your house. Or, it could be some deranged individual with a gun. Or, and much less likely, it could be an alligator. Best thing to do: don't open your front door for a noise without first looking to see what the noise was.
