Your neighbor has assumed it's OK to waltz right in so you should let him know. I would graciously tell him the gate is locked and that he is welcome to check his house but now will need to contact you first. No need to escalate the situation, just explain and offer access with permission.
(I have been around TOTV way too long and seem to remember old topics sometimes. Wasn't there a discussion a few years ago about courtyard gates being tried by an unknown person who might have been looking for a spot to break in, unseen?)

Of course we all think our attitude is normal. Acceptable.... And probably the right one. I think that watching your surroundings is good and being careful and reporting anything that instinctively nudges you that seems out of place. We all know WHAT Villagers look like and seeing someone completely not like Villagers does make you look twice. If you are more comfortable locking the gate do it.
We all have our quirks. I still do not know the real name of a poster who spent several hours with me because she to me is overly OVERLY careful. No matter how hard we try, I think it is hard to understand some people.
I thought Rock Hudson was straight.
I really, really did.
