Do you always lock your house?

[Rahmanh]

I always do it too, because we don't have a gun or camera.

I had to start locking my door 24/7 in my apartment after people just randomly started walking into my apartment looking for "Gary". He lived next door and I suspect he is selling drugs out of there. The landlord finally booted him but I still lock my door all the time.

Yes we keep locked at all times and  put the alarm on at night once in for the night and put the alarm on each time we leave; these days  you just cannot take chances.

You better believe my doors are locked at all times.  I watch a great deal of true crime on the different TV channels and it is surprising how many vicious crimes are ones of opportunity, including trying doors and finding one unlocked.  This also includes my car! You are asking for it if you don't lock your door, whether home or not!  Also, don't answer your door unless you know the person well and are trustful of their behavior.

We never locked our doors at night because we don't live in a city or town, but I started feeling creepy last year and so, we now lock our doors at night. I swore up and down there were footsteps on our porch a couple nights, and there was a stranger who broke down in the front, came to the house to ask hubby and then to try to borrow money from him.  Hubby thought he was 'on something."  ops came because next door neighbor is a retired state cop, and the stranger threw or dropped something in the weeds when he saw the cops coming. He came back a couple times looking for whatever he dropped and hubby and the neighbor went looking for it, too, after he left, but never found anything.As for windows, we're on 1 floor and they're always locked, even in the summer. Never open them. Too hard to do that. So we now lock up at night.

Yep. Pretty OCD about it. I watch too many true crime shows. :x

When and where I was grew up, we never locked our doors.  In today's world, you would be insane to not lock  your doors.

No but I should.

I live in a pretty safe area- hard to believe in these times they still exist but they do.  I'm glad I decided early not to raise my kids in the city.

There is a place where stupid questions get a retort on how stupid really isn't stupid. I do, but if you don't I'll find another reason to call you stupid.
