I think you have to do what is comfortable for you. I watched a home for several years that did not have an alarm with no issues whatsoever. Once they were able to move down here, one of the first things they did was have an alarm system installed. They're more comfortable that way. I know people here who never lock their doors; some who make you feel like you're in an armed fortress. It really is a personal choice based on what makes you happy.
