Maybe, maybe not. We dont know, do we? In my youth doors used to be left unlocked regularly. In fact only about 15 years ago I know a family who never locked their door.
Dont forget, John, this unlocked door was well within sight of the group at only 50 metres away. And Amaral said no-body would go in that way when being so close to the family.
Not quite like going somewhere where you cannot keep an eye on things, is it?
Why do keep insisting that it was OK for the McCanns to leave those patio doors unlocked because they could 'see' them ?
You must know that they would not have been staring intently at the patio doors the whole evening ?
But let's suppose they were ... let's suppose there was never a second when they didn't take their eyes of those patio doors
And let's suppose further, that whilst they were watching the patio doors so intently they saw a man enter them ...
What then ?
You yourself have said that the actual abduction would have taken less than a minute
So Kate and Gerry 'see' someone going in through the patio doors ( illuminated by the 'rectangle of light ) .... They jump up from the table and dash to the apartment ... by which time their child has been snatched from her bed and already carried of into the darkness by a beast
Now ... tell me again how leaving the patio doors unlocked was OK because they could 'see' them
