Do you lock your doors?

(1/7) > >>

DrewKaree:
I have a keyless lock for my front door.  My kids are CONSTANTLY leaving the front door open.  I lock the house doors whenever I leave, but I leave my car doors wide open.  I NEVER leave anything in my car because I had 2 cars broken into, one, they stole a CB radio, but left the in-dash, and the other, they stole some crap from my glove box that was worthless (but left an envelope full of cash that my passenger had left in there, unbeknownst to me).  Consequently, I no longer lock my car doors, hoping that the assholster who wants to steal something from my car will try the door first.

Seriously, NEVER anything in my car worth stealing.  Brake fluid, quart of oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, that's it.

Howsabout you (and why)?

I lock all my doors at all times, and have an alarm system in the house for when we're away and asleep. I don't think a lock will keep out someone determined, but I hope it will give whomever's in the house advance warning to be able to react in an appropriate manner. Also, locked/alarmed doors mean my kids can't sneak out without alerting me. Not that that's an issue yet, but someday? I was a good kid (seriously, never in any trouble, didn't party until I was a senior in high school, etc) and I still sneaked out at night. Oh, and yes,l all the windows in my house are alarmed as well.

I lock all my doors... house, car, anything.

It's equal parts OCD and growing up in the city where it just wasn't smart to leave things unlocked.  I wind up double checking that things are locked, and even make sure the doors in the house are locked when I'm in the house.

We keep all doors locked at all times. It has come in handy more than once too when people we don't even know have tried to come into our house. What the hell is wrong with people that go straight to trying to open the door instead of knocking or ringing the bell?!?

bfauska:
I wish I lived somewhere that I didn't feel like I should lock my doors.  I see the argument of not locking a car with no valuables in it.  I've had 2 cars broken into and in both cases the damage caused by the entry to the car was more expensive than the things that got stolen. If I think about the idea of not locking the doors it sounds crazy to me, but that's probably not even why I do it.  I've always done it, always all doors, it's how I was raised and it's a strong habit.
