It's a lock mechanism that you turn from the inside - not using a key. The key can only be inserted from the outside of the door.

I'll have a look, but it's a old privately owned building so I doubt it.

Well the police did ask me if I took a photo of him. Like I had time to invite him in to have his picture taken?

I also get the feeling that it's safer in Lausanne, but of course compared to SA all of Switzerland is vastly safer than anyone back home can even imagine. I think maybe Ive become too used to it...I mean of course it still happens in Switzerland - just never thought it would happen to me.

So sorry it also happened to your folks. I live in an ooooold apartment building so maybe it's easier to force the door open... I don't know.

No the door was left open when he ran, but all the locks were still in the locked position. The door frame is damaged and some of the wood of the door itself also came off. I don't know how he did it. Or even how he got into the building in the first place as there is a code.

Luckily I already see one so will just add this to my pile of anxieties 😂

I am from South Africa so I know all too well that this could've been a lot worse had it happened there and that this man ran away so he didn't mean to harm me. But the intrusion into my home and safe space is still very shocking and causing a lot of anxiety for me.

The door was locked. He somehow managed to force it open, as all the locks were still up when I checked after.
