Yeah, I lock my door at night, but i don't think I have to. I'll usually leave my house unlocked and unattended if we take a neighborhood walk, or even go to the park for a couple hours. The only person who has ever ever "broken in" to this house in almost 50 years is a family member with an addiction looking for something to pawn, and even that was only once. Never a stranger. I live in a city, not rural at all.
