We hired a general contractor to do some work that I knew I would never get around to (or do properly, but that's another story).
I had left the back door open so they could get to the downstairs bathroom and left a cooler with some water bottles for them. (its in the 90's today).
I left for work before she did so she called before leaving for work herself and asked what to do about the back door. I said leave it open for them as I should be home before they finish.
She didn't like the idea and argued it before just saying fine and hanging up.
Now, a bit of background. She has never met either of the workers before. The GC is the husband of a woman I not only have worked with for the past 5 years, but got her her current job and trained her. I had met her husband (the GC) a couple times previously. His helper is the younger son of my former boss.

Would you have left the house unlocked for them or am I being too trusting?
