Why lock the door to your home when you leave? Any adult male could easily kick it in. So why bother locking it? Because it only takes a few seconds and it makes us feel safer.

Am I the only one who doesn't lock his door? Like most houses, I have this clear, fragile panel strategically spread around my home. If it gets hit by a stray rock from the mower, a ball or whatever, it just shatters. I think it is emergency escape access in case of a fire? Why lock your door, it takes a second to break a window and NO ONE will hear it or care unless they too are stalking you. So those that are paranoid, if it makes you feel better...go for it.
I know you are naysayers are thinkin it, why do I lock my VX doors? Breaking the window out of a car is a lot louder and more noticeable than someones backyard window. Plus, I would guess that auto break-in is more prevalent than home since it is a lot safer for a criminal. You never know what is on the other side of the door to a house; a mute Rottie, a silenced 9mm, who knows. Sometimes I dream about someone coming into my home, I wouldn't make a peep...just a bang....bang....bang bang bang bang...then "Damn, who is gonna clean all this up?"
