As for the laundry shoot, does your bathroom door close tightly against the laundry shoot door? Do you keep a broom or other small object, fishing pole, grill accessories, etc., in the basement? If you do, then I would (of course knowing the layout of your rig and doing my homework first) push up on the laundry door just enough to get that small object in there and give the bathroom door a push/pull. Am I then in? But you do have piece of mind.
Edited: Of course, you could take one of those pipe covers that are used to protect your head from the slide-outs, and cut a wide enough groove to slide it on the bottom of door for a tighter fit. That might be a little better, but then, you or your insurance company will be replacing an entry door, most likely.
I think the bottom line is, if a thief wants in, he's going to get in. All any of us can do is to use any and all methods posted to try and deter them. They do like easy pickings. (Bump, bank - no easy entry - go to the next one!)
