or has that always been a fallacy?

I used to have this conversation with my fam
cause if a door is closed isn't the assumption that it's lock and if the lock is whats stopping the robbers then why would they try doors at random?

especially if a computer bag is in-sight.

i've lost a macbook because of an unlocked car door in a parking garage.

so for a house, i could see being put on the 'there might be something nice inside, lets try the front door first' list very easily.

tough call.

here it's common they ring the doorbell and then try the door.... but because the lock is locked and they're fidgeting with it and the homeowner get's alarmed, they often get their head blown off. happens every other month, sometimes a few times a month here. The county prosecutor NEVER EVER prosecutes, he's always like welp that's too bad... i guess the robber got what they deserved in so many words. But the person might have got robbed if there was no lock.

mischievous kids do...

Usually when I go for runs or bike rides.

was gone for about 2 1/2 hours and came back to my house intact. And I live in what most people think is the worst county in metro Atlanta.....

I lived in a secure building in Center City where I just left my shit open generally and in Isla Vista we hardly ever locked our door. In the former case we had a doorman but I definitely trusted my neighbors. In the latter, we had so many people living there that usually someone was home, but not always.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Sometimes I will forget to lock the sliding door if I grill on the deck...

I live in East Charlotte and my backyard is up against a park where Blacks, Whites and Mexicans nri g their kids to play.

I wouldnt do it on purpose tho...

No problems.

Matterfact I fell asleep last night, with my truck parked on the street with the windows down, and woke up with not so much as the loose change in my center console touched.

....we used to leave our garage door open for hours while we were gone. We did that for months. We still will leave doors unlocked at times. My neighborhood is pretty safe.


Since 1976

Nobody came in from what I can tell. I know ppl who have had ppl walk in their places when they've left their doors unlocked.

So ppl do actually turn knobs to see if it's locked or not.

Everyone leaves their doors open in OKP land and home security is a scam industry.

I was going to transfer the contract from the last owner but they wanted $50 a month.. fuck that.

But I think the sign in the yard and being able to see the system when you look through the window prolly is enough.

I want to know who has a video system security system. Does this mean some stranger is watching you fap in the living room?

And I grew up with parents who'd suffered a home invasion b4 I was born. They taught me to lock doors. I still do it religiously.

fuck you.

or not be robbed either way. We live in a 'ok' neighborhood butthere was a string of robberies from dudes from outside the neighborhood. We have an alarm system. Never had a robbery attempt but had plenty of false alarms.

My parents are the type to wedge a chair under the door knob when they stay in hotels and to put their luggage in their car in the middle of the night so no one knows they will be out of town. They'd rather have a friend or family member pick up their mail everyday then tell the post office to put a hold on it lol

People regularly come through and put little paper ads in my door jam and cars are occasionally burgled in my community.

So yeah, I keep my shit locked and occasionally double check even after I just locked my shit.

I live right next to a train station so we have randoms walking through at times. Of course, I'd lock my stuff up if I was in a cul de sac out in the burbs too.

I live in one of the safest cities in America and I would never leave my door unlocked.

November 8th, 2005 The greatest night in the history of GD!

Just got the locks changed on the door in the garage, it wouldn't lock and garage was left open a lot.

In my last townhouse, I wouldn't. The units were so close together and easy access, plus we got notices of break ins a few times .

The ritzy side of Roseville - which is the ritzy side of Sacramento.

Do the math.

Run up in here if you want

...right by the sidewalk, right in front of the bus stop. As far as I know, nothing has gone missing. We have a front door, so not locking it isn't an option, but I doubt I'd have to lock my car doors (if I had one), either.

To be real tho, I never had to lock my house doors in the hood, either. Folks just don't run up in random people's cribs. Usually, they are targeted as having $$$, and I just don't come off as a dude with mad loot. Cars were a different story tho, folks will go in your car in a heartbeat.
