Yesterday when returning to my day centre at lunchtime after nipping round the corner to buy a sarnie for lunch, I found the front entrance door wide open seemingly for no apparent reason (it wasn't me that left it open/unlocked) and when I informed the manager about it she said that there were no clients there yesterday who were at risk of escaping/wandering off, and I said 'what about Dunblane back in 1996?' and she replied that Burton on Trent is hardly Britain's 'crime capital' and that Dunblane, as tragic as it was, was only just a 'one-off', and she believes that society has become disproportionately paranoid about pretty much anything and everything over the past 30 years or so.

Am I being excessively paranoid myself or are the staff at my day centre being negligent regarding security?
