My Great grandparents ...........
Sorry but again, I am the odd man out. My Great grandparents never locked their doors and left their windows open (course back then there was no AC.) Nor did my Grandparents, nor did my parents. Ergo neither do I. I guess the reasoning was .... you lock your house there must be something of value in it.
I was a kid growing up in Illinois, I don't believe I ever knew of someone locking up the house unless it was time for a vacation.

Neat bumper sticker. Went like this: "It's God's job to judge terrorists. Our job is to arrange the meeting!"
Be a gentleman, remove your hat/cap when entering a building and dining out!
