Funny thing..we rarely locked our doors until we came here. When we were living just outside of Baltimore we almost never locked our doors and never had an incident. In other smaller towns, we didn't lock the doors and never had a problem. However when we came here, we heard lots of warnings about keeping the doors locked "at all times" over incidents just like this. Not sure what to think about it, but when we're home our doors are open all the time, and many times my keys are in the ignition of my truck. I know there are plenty of people here who will tell me I'm an idiot for doing that, although I've been called an idiot so many times in my life, it sort of just rolls off. I can't live in my own home as though I'm living in a jail.
