New Police Community Service: Unsolicited 3am Wake-up Calls!

I don't know about you, but occasionally I leave my garage door open after I hit the hay. Maybe I'm tired; maybe I want to air it out. Who knows why? It's my property and no one is welcome inside unless I've invited them. This is America, after all, land of private property rights.
Or so I thought. Apparently some Lakeville, Minnesota cops disagree. Last week Troy Wolde left his garage door open overnight. Two police officers noticed, let themselves into his home and woke him up by banging on his walls at three o'clock in the morning. Why? Just a friendly reminder not to leave his doors unlocked.
How thoughtful. It feels so good to live in a country where police don't do unreasonable searches without probable cause that a crime has been committed. Lakeville must be way too boring.
