Why not. It's *your* home, if you want to leave the doors and windows
unlocked, it's
your choice.  How is that "encouraging them"?  They had robbed him

once.  How many times was he supposed to ignore them?

I would.  Since the police did nothing, although I have no doubt they
knew who the criminals
were but never questioned them,  then it's up to the vicitim to handle
the situation and from
what I read about the case, Tony Martin did the right thing.  I hope
they never returned to the scene of the crime:)

 Daft idiots.
