Do You Lock Your Doors At Night?

I most certainly do. Why? Because there are people out there who have no sense of community or ethics. They take what others have because they do not have the self=respect to go out and earn it for themselves.

I live a long way out in the sticks so while we lock our front door, the back door (behind a fence, and a very noisy yard) we don't lock the back door. Anyone approaching the rear will make so much noise that we will be very well prepared by the time they get to the rear door.

On a farm or ranch of any kind that is most certainly true.

I lock my doors during the day. I also have a dog alarm and a number of projectiles handy for said intruder.

The author of the article seems to have difficulty distinguishing between locking the doors of your personal dwelling to protect your family and your personal property (although I thought you guys preferred sitting up all night waiting for the porch step to creak so you could shoot someone) with the assumption that every American owns every inch of land along the southern border and has the by-God right to seal us all in.

Piss-poor analogy.

Right after my home burglary, I sat home for about 2 weeks locked and loaded waiting for them to come back and try cracking the safe, which they could not get into the first time.

Lucky for them they have not tried it.

Not in like 14 years after I moved out of the chicago area to south Carolina .

When I would visit my cousins in Wichita Falls Texas on their cattle ranch, they would always leave the doors unlocked at night. They knew all the neighbors for miles around.

I would get up at night when they were all asleep and I would lock all the doors.

Pretty soon their mother would get up after me and unlock them again.

I grew up in the big cities.

They grew up in the countryside.

I have biscuit that's on my profile and my killer alarm cat. Memphis .she sleeps on me and biscuit sleeps at my feet ...

No worrys

Several years ago a friend of mine fought his insurance company and won. After having his convertible broken into multiple times by having the top cut, he decided to no longer lock his door. He believed that if a crook wanted in, they would get in by cutting the top. If the doors were unlocked, while the result would be the same, he wouldn't have to go through the trouble of having his top replaced, AGAIN.

That's why I walk away with my car windows rolled down in certain high-risk areas. I'd rather have the junk inside stolen than have the window smashed.

So far, nothing stolen, not even the spare change that's in open view. There are some good things about having an older vehicle.

We are supposed to put the windows up?
what about leaving the car open with keys in side?
No one bothers in where I have ever lived in the last 30 yrs, except a year in NYC. Even then it was a walk up, and who wants to climb narrow stairs to find a studio with baby toys on the floor, nothing to take, most things were in storage since it would not fit in our apartment. Now the car might have been stolen if open and key inside, but with all the double parking, they probably couldn't get the car out.

Yes!

Locked day and night. Always lock the car too, no matter where I am.

I used to keep my door open at night until a wild raccoon, toad and snake came to visit me in my living room.
