When, where, time of day, location, and why or why not?

several times, randomly throughout the day. its crucial to avoid falling into a pattern, that's how they get ya.

are you a cop

I have double locks on my front door. I unlock and lock the top one 3 times in a row. I then leave the top one unlocked and lock and unlocked the bottom lock 3 times in a row. I then turn the knob twice in each direction. I then lock both locks at the same time with different hands and then I wake up from a dream because I don’t actually do any of that.

My wife locks them, I never remember/doesn't bother me.
-
Car - locked when I'm not in it
House - locked only if I'm leaving on an airplane
-
sometimes i'll get anxiety about whether or not i locked the car so i'll walk outside and while most people would probably just hit the lock button i go try the handle to confirm if i did, in fact, lock it.
-
Car. Every time I exit.
House. Rarely ever.

I just double tap if I hear my door knob turn.

why would you not lock your door as a neutral state? what's the upside of just letting your door male genitals wag around like a rough ridin' dog tail?

When I sneak into other people’s houses, THE FIRST thing I do is lock the door. They usually mumble something like “gosh, I don’t remember locking that” as they walk through the door. It’s hilarious.

This is pretty much my house currently, though we are all pretty casual about locking our house. I don't drive highly valuable cars, but family suv is always locked in the garage. For my cars I typically only lock it when in area where thieves are more likely to lurk (mall parking lots, downtowns, etc). Also lock if have someone else's valuable property inside or leaving wallet/cash inside.
I grew up, as prob many of us did in a high-trust culture in small-town No. Central Kansas. Hardly anyone I know locked up much of anything. Churches weren't locked, etc.
Everyone feeling like they have to lock everything up and protect their valuables is one of many symptoms of a low-trust society.
We all know time and place, but it's not like there is a threat lurking around every corner.

I will never understand that mindset, and I grew up in So. Central Kansas. It takes less than a second to lock your car door, or door door. Why the eff not do it? Just to feel good about a "trust culture"?

Never thought about locking doors until moved to manhattan for college.

We normally only lock our door at night, but we’ve been locking it 24/7 lately because we have a Kimmy Gibbler situation.

Yes, white Midwesterners love to brag about not locking doors because it shows they don't have big city problems
-
I try to lock all the doors at night and if we are out of town. Forgot to close the garage door last night. I try to keep it closed because last year we had a bird get trapped in the garage and then break a window trying to escape. Also, individuals looking for tools to convert into money for drugs have been known to rummage around in open garages. A few years ago, a drunk person wandered onto my neighbor's enclosed back porch and crashed around. The police were able to bring the situation to a bloodless conclusion.

fun not locking your door in MHK fact: my roomate and I drunkenly stumbled into our MHK apartment one night to it being robbed and chased off some guy who had our playstation and some other crap. so, like, score one for the lock your door in MHK crowd.
-
forgetting to close the garage door is my nightmare. there is a small window on my garage that tilts inwards to open, and i left it open for ventilation one night when we were out of town a few years ago. got completely cleaned out.

My senior year of college I didn't even have a key to the house we were renting, some of my roommates did but I didn't.
-
Lock behind me when I'm leaving my home/car vacant. Hadn't locked when I'm inside one of those things until relatively recently and only home and right before I go to sleep.
-
Locks on every door, alarm set, booby traps at every entry point. Doggie SF is also a trained killer. I also sleep with a bazooka under my pillow. You can never be too careful in Shawnee Mission, KS.
-
everything locked unless i'm like out doing yardwork or something

One night I was very plastered after an night in aggieville and walked into my apartment to pass out. I was quickly reminded by the new tenants that this was no longer my apartment. My roommate and I had recently moved down the street.

Ha. I lived at Chase and came home hammered one night via cab. I think it was NYE so not many people around. Apartment locked tight with no way in. No cell phone back then. My friend was at his GF's still in Aggieville. Way too drunk to walk all the way back down there so I just started looking for lights still on. It was like 3 am and all the way across the complex there was a light on so I knocked on the door and a very nice Asian dude answered. He was at his desk studying and I asked to use his phone. He did not speak very good English to my recollection, but he was prob speaking way better English than me at that point. With no other option in my drunk brain, I asked him for a ride to Aggieville so I could get my key from my friend. He gave me a ride down there and we didn't speak the whole way. I can't even remember if I gave him money or not, but I hope I did. I hope he is a big time CEO of something right now.

i don't have to unlock it when i come home.
also sometimes we leave the back door open so the dog can go in and out as it suits her, so it has to be unlocked for that. and if the back door is open it seems dumb to lock the front door.
-
I never knew so many people didn't lock their doors.

one time back in the time before cell phones my car got stuck and i broke into someone's unlocked house to call for someone to come get me. that's just one of the benefits of living in a high-trust society and abusing that trust.

Also lifting cigs (one at a time) out of your neighbor’s unlocked truck as a teenager. Sorry, former neighbor. Please forgive me.

I used to never lock my house when I was out and about on a normal day but have been trying to get into the habit of it.
I never lock it when I'm home, it just never crosses my mind. Plus I have 2 really vicious mutts who would make short work of any unwanted visitors.

I’m a gun nut so I live every waking hour of my life praying to evangelical Jesus that someone comes into my house uninvited so I can shoot them. Need unlocked doors for that.

Same, i've "accidentally" killed every animal I've ever had after being startled in the middle of the night and waking up blasting, but one of these days i'm going to get an intruder. You just wait.....

Smart front door lock auto locks door after 5 minutes or 1 minute after 11pm as I have pak'd friends who leave and don't lock the door. Garage auto shuts after a few minutes. Always have locked my car door.
I can't imagine not locking my doors even though based on doorcam footage it has never been needed.

More like small-town Kansas boys.

My Dad grew up in South City Wichita so he would have had our ass as a kid if we left the garage door open or left a door unlocked. I still check the locks at my place every night even thought I only enter through the garage. We did the whole unlocked dorm room thing in Marlatt but that was only because my room-mate lost his damned keys once a week and he would constantly text/call me asking when I would be back. Dude was a rough ridin' idiot.
