Do you lock your doors at night?

Retired Cop, in the area where I worked, so yes, they get locked, and there are cameras as well. Our neighborhood is pretty good, but not too far away, there are some serious doper problems, and they’ll come around here when they’re feeling frisky to see what they can get away with. Fortunately, the last time that occurred, it sparked a very robust Neighborhood Watch program build up, and now we’re OK.

Nope. Never have.

I mean, locked is the default setting on our doors. We unlock them to go out

I lock my doors to help protect the idiots from me.
Surprised nobody used that line on this string.

I live in town, part of the Portland Metro Area, so Double Yes

Oh, hell yea then

I failed to mention that we also have an electric gate that keeps the honest folks honest. But, I don’t have “lost” people showing up to “case the joint” as they say. I’m retired so I’m home a lot, but we’ve lived here in the country for 26 years with no break-ins. Thieves want easy, and any difficulty foils the majority of them. Now that I’ve said that, we’ll probably get hit day after tomorrow !

Yes. Almost always. Just paranoid I guess. My girlfriend on the other hand, almost never locks her doors.

Door is not locked. I don't own firearms. I am not competent with those fire arms. Don't have a guard dog. That dog is not a TRAINED Black GERMAN SHEPHERD named K.D. There are no other security measures here. I am old, so I might be napping. WELCOME TO VA

In 1959, in an obscure county in Kansas where everybody thought they were safe, the Clutter family lived on a farm away from crime and even juvenile delinquency.

They left their doors unlocked.

You can read about them in Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood."

The Clutter Family Massacre

I live in a fairly safe neighborhood we lock at night and when we leave the house. we never lock when we are taking a walk with the dog or when we are in the back .

Although we live in a "good area" we still lock our doors. That and having been in LE for 30 yrs., locking of doors is a hard habit to break. At night just before bed, I do a security check of all doors.

If we are out running errands, our vehicle doors get locked 100% of the time as well.

Always have and always will!!! No reason to make it easy for those folks.

The Clutter family lived in a safe town in Kansas and didn't lock their doors. They would become famous in the book In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. Both the book and the movie are excellent.

Rule #1 for home security - Lock all doors and windows.

Rule #1 for suckers - "It won't happen to me."

Only since 1967

I lock them. We live in a small town but pos roam the streets. illegals too, thanks to that pos in the white house.

I’m single, and live alone, I lock myself in, and lock up when I leave. When I’m home, everyone is here that needs to be here. I’ve got firearms all over the place, I rarely have visitors, I have dogs for early warning system. Retiring in about 8 years, and then I’ll start thinking about safety.
We’ve all seen the kicking the door in armed intruder assault videos, that’s why I own guns.

I grew up in the "boonies" in north San Diego County in the late 60's, early 70's. We would go on 2 week vacation trips and not lock up the house. We also had a golden retriever that would probably ask a thief if he wanted help carrying stuff out. Sigh....life was simpler then.
These days? Not so much. Locked at all times.

ALWAYS locked at night and when we're not home. (Former LEO)
