]Say a guy comes to a party with "bad intentions" on his mind (i.e.,
]casing the joint with plans to rob it later).  He uses the phone, dials
]the repeat number and saves it for later use.  Then, at his leisure, he
]can call the phone number to check whether or not the occupants are at
]home.
]Of course, this is all moot if people write their phone number down on
]their receiver.

you've been watching waaaay to much TV. if he's casing the joint he'll
already know their come and go patterns. if he's able to get into the
place at all it'd be a simple matter to just ask for the phone number
so he could call later to chat or something. how many people do you
let into your house without knowing them? party or not...
