Now how would you like to be the one lying on the kitchen floor near
the phone that's fallen out of your hand while the dispatcher consults
his notes for clues? Put a &%*# number on your &%*# house!

Don't some neighborhoods have covenants forbidding that?
It conforms to the general principle of "Let's be as uninviting as
possible" and "If you don't already know your destination, you
shouldn't be here".
