Do you always lock the doors to your house, car (etc)?

I live in a big city so we always lock up. Even when I'm driving I lock my doors.

Guilty of not locking doors. I've grown up in the same spot my entire life and nobody around here locks doors, but the past couple of years we've heard of a few break-ins, so more people have started to. I tried that ol' lockin' the doors thing for a while & it was nice, but I ended up locking out my family and partner who all come and go throughout the early day time when I am sleeping. So I quit. LOL. Even though we live in probably the most peaceful, friendly neighborhood on earth, it's not the best idea to not lock our doors. We really should. My lovie flips out over me not locking them, but that is just how I grew up so it's not a ritual I remember every day anyways. I should get into the habit, but I really hate when I'm passed out and people can't get in (family and him) so they come pound on the window of my bedroom. And I feel bad when they have to wait for me to wake up. LOL.

I do keep my car locked & if we ever go out of town, we actually have to put locks on not only our front & back doors, but bedrooms too because we have a theif in the family who has literally robbed me of every posession in my bedroom more than once while I was gone, so that is necessary. That is also why I keep my car locked. At one point, I even had to lock most of my belonging in my car! I don't take chances there because this family member could very well sneak up while I'm sleeping and actually take off in my car if it weren't locked. And I am not even playing. LOL. It happened before. I'd been in surgery and my partner drove me because well, you can't drive yourself after surgery, so my car was left home. My older sister called me minutes after I got out of surgery and was in the vehicle to tell me my car was gone from the house! I panicked and what do ya know? Lovely family member decided my being in surgery was the perfect opportunity to go for an all day joy ride! So I keep that sucker locked up at all times.

I'm with you there, OCD and all

Same here. I will check again even if I remember locking the door. Not sure why though!

always lock!

Always my front door, rarely my back one,which is sliding glass doors. They stay open most of the time because I have a large dog that is constantly in and out. My truck, only if I have something in it

That sounds similar to my situation growing up. We only locked up at the end of the day, or if no one was home. My dad never locked his car, either. We never had any problems with house or car. The only problem we ever had was when my brand new 10 speed bike (Schwinn Varsity — remember those?) got stolen off the front porch. Ironically, it was locked, but with a really thin cable.
