[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was it Jeffrey Dahmer or Charles Manson that said an unlocked door was like an invitation to come in? I think it was Dahmer. People absolutely do test doors to see if they're locked. [/quote]

Home invasions are extraordinarily rare. They happen but the odds of it happening to YOU, in suburbia are comically low. It is winning the bad lottery uncommon. [/quote]

And yet it happens and the consequences can be catastrophic.  Seems like locking the door is a very low level of effort to lower the odds even more.  Furthermore, there's a difference between a home invasion and a burglary.  Most burglars won't enter a house if they believe it is occupied but the ones who do are far more likely to be violent. Finally, the police in my area constantly admonish residents to lock their homes and cars and point to the many incidents in the local crime reports of unlocked cars being ransacked and the odd burglary that occurs when front doors are left unlocked.
