I'm glad all turned out well. She's lucky to have a dad like you. I have
an 11-year daughter; she thinks she's 16. This is a quiet area. At
night, car doors and windows are often left open, lawn mowers (or
snowblowers) parked on the lawn, the odd open garage door. kids' bikes
(or skis..LOL) left outside... but not as relaxed as, say, even 5 years
ago.

We often get lured into this false sense of security and your reminder
is much appreciated.
Although by itself not enough, maybe 11 is not too young for a cell
phone?
