Locking your doors?

[jenniferhoder]

I certainly do feel it all depends on where you live. Some areas ARE safer than others!!!

I grew up with a paranoid mom ... LOL   

I always lock my doors and my car

I used to not worry too much about locking my car doors, but lately a neighbor has told me about some house break-ins in our area. Now I lock my cars as soon as I get out so I don't forget. The house is usually always locked, I don't feel safe otherwise.

I lock my doors. I usually wind up double and triple checking the locks. After some one tried to break into a home i was living in about 10 years ago I do not feel safe.

I have always lived in the city, but even if I lived in a nice quiet rural area I still wouldn't leave my doors or car unlocked. You never know what can happen plus I watch too many thiller type movies to be naive.

  I used to have my doors unlock so my grandkids and just come in but since last week some teenager keeps walking in like he lives there.  He sees some one all he says is wrong door and walks back out.  I complain but my landlord said not my problem.  how's tat?

I lock at night for my own peace of mind. Crime is more rampant in the bigger cities and the percentage of being robbed is higher. However, stuff happens in the country too. If someone wants in my house, I at least want time for the dog and I to hear them before they are in the house. That way I can set up an alert and keep myself safer. I certainly sleep better.

I would never leave my doors unlocked. I live in public housing. I know how some of the neighbours are.

I live in the country and I alway lock all the doors.  It seems there are lots robberys around my area.

I live in a fairly safe place, but I feel it is very wise to lock doors on the house and take the keys out of the car.  Why leave temptation so handy?

I never lived in a time or place where I would ever leave my door unlocked, especially for a very extended period of time. This is of course excluding parties when people are constantly going in or out.

I am not naive. I know anything can happen anywhere. But 9 times out of ten it isn't going to happen here. I do own a gun for safety percautions and if  I ever felt unsafe I would start locking my doors. But until then I feel just fine.

I live in So California and I always lock up. It still isn't enough. I've had a car stolen and my home broken into.

I don't care how "safe" an area is, there are still crazy creeps lurking around you NEVER KNOW.

If your lucky enough to live were you can thats a blessing.  Even though we live in a pretty safe and quite neighborhood we lock our doors.  We have had a rash of home invasions of people using military tacts and targeting people they thought were bad or evil.  They knock on door then if no one answers they kick in door.  Try it at my sisters house and my nephew kicked the door back on them getting one of there hand in it.  He heard noise went to see if cat was getting in christmas tree again and found front door adjar and then saw a hand coming inside to hold door open little more quitely he guessed. He was able to hold door shut on the hand for about a minute before they pulled it lose.  He was able to lock door and put chair underneith doorhandle to make it hold til he got gun.  Called police they were caught 2 days later from a breakin down the road.  Now to this day total of 4 were caught but they said at least 6 more still out there.  They caught the ringleader he had a manual that was very wicket. Taught tacktical assalt, and bunches of other things.  The group was targeting recuits from ages of 16 and up.  Things just are like they use to be.  Stay safe out there.
