[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. Where the heck do you all live? I live in Prince George's County, grew up here, and sometimes remember to lock my doors. My husband, on the other hand, grew up in very safe rural New England and is an OBSESSIVE locker. Gets frustrated with me. Instead of it being a turn on, it's a turn off. Don't be so paranoid!

Like one of the PPs said, every time my car was broken into, it was locked. They actually did more damage smashing windows and then the damage to the steering column when they actually did take it once (it was recovered). When I lived in DC, it was easier to just leave it open. Please Mr. or Mrs. Crackhead, rifle through, take the contents and do not break my window again.

I'm not sure realistically who will be breaking into your home in the early morning hours (when spouse is out for a run). Most burglaries are when people are NOT home. Our burglaries around here --- though very rare -- happen in the daytime.

You do hear about the egregious home invasions -- but I think you'd be more likely to be chosen for the next space shuttle mission than have this happen to you.

My husband is this way too and it drives me nuts.  I generally lock doors but I'm not concerned if someone forgets.  Seriously people, the whole world isn't out to get you and your stuff.

Thank you. I really think these people are generally mistrustful with a negative worldview. A lot of republicans are this way. In our neighborhood, a lot of the gun lover types have alarm systems whereas we liberals almost universally do not. I think it's that fear mentality that drives them to arm themselves and hide behind their ADT systems. They also seem unable to understand that a home invasion in Richmond or wherever is little one in millions of households. Violent attacks are SO rare. Most thieves want money or stuff and few are willing to go to great lengths or take risks to get it. [/quote]

Wow. You make an awful lot of generalizations from a couple sentences written by multiple posters who presumably come from many walks of life. Perhaps you shouldn't be so quick to stereotype.

Signed,
A liberal with ADT who has worked in gun control, has been raped, had house burglarized, and insists absent-minded DH lock doors. Had positive world-view until watching the debacle that is Congress in recent days/weeks/years. [/quote]
