Do you lock the doors to your house? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice · 04-23-2006, 10:55 AM

I'm always amazed when people tell me that they don't lock their doors. My best friend will leave her door unlocked in the afternoon if she goes out.

I always lock my doors, whether I'm home, out, or even going out for 10 minutes. I've always been this way. I live in a very safe Town too, but you never know.

I always lock my door. I live in an apartment complex, so I do it even if I am just going to my car or to check the mailbox or go to the laundromat. I am easily paranoid. It's the same with my car doors.

Always. And I set the alarm. I live in a safe place also but that is were alot of theft takes place. The crooks come from their side of town over to the supposedly safe side and look for opportunities. Everyone needs to catch an episode of "It Takes a Thief" on Discovery. Makes you think about how really safe your house is. Most of the time when you think you're safe and protected against theft...you're not.

Always.

Anything can happen, so why take any chances?

And my neighborhood is safe too.
I can take consolation in that fact if I happen to forget to lock a certain door or window.

Is that a documentary? It sounds like something I'd really enjoy.

I remember a few years back, a woman was breaking into the richest homes in California and stealing millions in cash, jewels, etc. Brazen as hell, in broad daylight. She got away with it for years.

I live in New York. If I didn't lock the door, not only would the contents of the house be gone but also the door.

we always lock it at night and when we go out.

We always lock it. A friend of my moms doesn't lock her car doors and about 6 years ago when she went to the car in the morning, there was a homeless guy sleeping on her backseat

~LadyJess~ · 04-23-2006, 12:28 PM

Yeah we always lock our doors. If someone comes over and we let them in, we immediately lock the door after they come in. My grandma has pretty much ingrained that in me because she is afraid someone is going to come in and steal her.

Brian Damage · 04-23-2006, 12:47 PM

I always double lock my door. I live in a pretty safe neighborhood, but that doesn't mean someone bad can't come into it.

That show is a real eye opener. It shows the lengths the bad guys will go to get your stuff.

Like Janice said, even if I'm going out for a few minutes, I lock my door.

I always lock my doors. I live in a small town but people come walking up the sidewalk at all hours of the night. Anything can happen.

rusyd · 04-23-2006, 01:03 PM

We always lock our doors. You just never know.

Courtnee · 04-23-2006, 01:12 PM
