[Tom Earp]

Do You Bar Your Door to feel safe?

I lock my doors, and I have a locked door/gate thing that goes up the back of my building where I also back the back door. I also live in a large city, in a "good" part of the city, but still a big city. I always locked my doors anyway even when I was at home in the 'burbs.
I am pretty trusting with leaving my stuff around, say at a desk while I go look for a book in the library, or on a chair while I go buy coffee at the airport or whatever. Now that I think about it, I should probably be more careful about that.

Since my life was threatened more than once, yes, I lock my doors. I also took the NRA Personal Protection course (only half of it involves the use of a gun).

I figure that if "someone" breaks through my security systems (two), through the outer locked doors or the wired windows, and the two locked doors to my bedroom, I get to blow his head off. Seems like a fair exchange to me.

Oh, and I live in a middle/upper-middle-class neighborhood, with a policeman four doors down.

[AOPIHottie]

I live in a neighborhood nice enough that I am ok with forgetting to lock my car, but otherwise I am very paranoid about keeping my house doors locked. But not my car....if they want it that bad, let 'em have it!

[Tom Earp]

WOW, HOLLY SH*T!

Did not expect this kind of response!

Scary Society isnt it?

God, I am an Ex COP and have an arssenal or what ever.

Damn, Damn!!! Is this what it is all about?

In my hometown, I know a lot of people who keep their doors unlocked, even though my family doesn't. But it's really safe there.

Here at school I always lock my door, especially cuz it's just me and my girl roommate and who knows what crazies are around here. This Halloween my boyfriend took my roommate out to go pick up her car at 2 AM while I was passed out in bed. They came back in 10 minutes to find a random man standing outside my bedroom. Scary as shit.

I lock my doors at night and when I'm not home, but don't really worry during the day. I never lock my car doors at home. My next door neighbors never lock their house at all.

We lock our door because we live in some apartments and you never know who is coming through the complex. Hubby has had things taken from him before so he is ultra cautious. We also make certain that both vehicles are locked as well. I do this now because one time when I didn't lock the car, I forgot to get my purse ( which I had forgotten to get out b/c I was carrying book bags, diaper bag, baby, and a grocery sack). Needless to say, it was gone.

We believe in full security systems as well--it's in the form of a Ruger Redhawk and a hubby who was trained by a marksman ( his dad).

of course, i do -- both at home and the car. i am also very careful of what i leave out at school. i have been ripped off before.

I live in one of the safest neighborhoods in the area. I've seen people leave their cars running, keys in the ignition and all, while they run into the deli or whatever.

Even so, I keep my doors locked, and I have a security system for my house. I also lock my car doors, even when it's parked in my garage.

What can I say, I'm paranoid

[PhiPsiRuss]

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I live in an ultra-safe neighborhood, so I don't really worry about crime.

[valkyrie]

I always lock my doors. Even when I lived in a tiny little town with hardly any crime I locked my doors. I always lock my car doors while driving, too.

Doors are locked when I come in the apt and checked before bed. I also have a big huge gate with bars over the fire escape window. All of which have helped me feel safer since I was robbed in Nov.


Growing up in suburbia, we locked our front door always but the backdoor we left unlocked during the day sometimes. Our screen & glass outside doors were pretty loud so if someone got even that far we'd hear them coming in.

[Honeykiss1974]

I lock my doors. I'm a single women that lives alone so I have no reason to leave them unlock - so-called "safe" neighborhood or not.

[bsp-mich24]

I lock the car and house door(S) at all times, the side door from the garage to the back is unlocked when I'm pulling weeds or cutting plants.

I leave the deadbolt doors open to get fresh air thru the locked security doors.
