Even if there's nothing to steal do you really want people coming in in order to find that out? What's to stop someone from planting a landmine under your bed and then leaving!?

What goes on in your house you can be held liable for (depends on region) if you don't make a reasonable attempt to prevent it.... so not locking your door could open you up to a criminal investigation when something that's not your fault occurs in your house. Locking your doors not only protects you from unauthorized entry and informs you of if you had any break-ins, but also protects you from events that occurred in your house during a break in or unwanted visit.


That sounds unbelievably retarded. Might be that my door can't be opened without a key whether it's locked or not, but still..

A few Canadians don't lock their doors, so all Canadians must not lock their doors. Hasty generalization, bro.

It's also pretty common to leave your car running while going into a grocery store/other place (during the winter).

That's horrifically wasteful.


Actually not really. Cars use virtually no fuel while idling. When I was having car troubles on one of my previous cars I had to drain the gas tank. So I drove it until it was past E and the empty fuel light was blinking and figured I'd let it idle to run the rest of the fuel out.

Yeah, after leaving it running nonstop for over 24 hours I decided I didn't want to wait anymore. It would use MUCH more gas to let the car cool and then try to warm it up by giving it a little extra gas when you got back.

He asked like 80 people, and put into the film only the people who didn't lock their doors.

My friend's family in TN never locks their door. One time I realized I left my keys in their house, and I was able to go in the house at 3 am and look around everywhere while all of them were sleeping. They're just lucky I'm not Jigsaw or Ted Bundy.

If I am inside my house, I don't lock the doors, and I don't know any one here who does. I assumed that was his point, that Canadians were comfortable at home with unlocked doors. I've never been to a friends or relatives where I don't walk right in when I know they are home, I will knock at a friends house, but they never have to come and unlock the door, they just open it.

EDIT: I will lock the doors when I go outside, no matter what, and no matter how long, and when I go to sleep, but that is all.

dont lock my doors but we live far enough out of town it's never going to be a 'random' break in if it happens so i doubt locks would slow anyone down
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I lock my doors whether I'm home or not, but I know lots of people who don't lock them when they are home and I've got one buddy who's house is never locked.

well theres a main entrance door that autolocks
then 6 apartments inside that, and I don't lock the apartment door unless im leaving for a good while. when i lived with my parents further from the city centre, we didn't always lock the door until me and my friend broke in through a window because I had forgotten my key. I didn't tell my parents and they ended up thinking it was a real break-in, so after that they both installed alarm and absolutely always locked.

There's a lot to think about, including that if your door is unlocked a thief would think someone was home. But I think overall I'd rather see a broken lock and know someone were in my house (or rather, not see a broken lock and know someone hasn't been in).

Kinda pointless not to lock your doors. Certainly no one in Canada is offended if you do.

Of course I lock my doors, even when I'm home. Who knows who could come strolling in.
It's not particularly something I have to think about, I just lock it out of habit.

During winter of course my door is always locked to preserve the heat. When it's not winter I don't lock the door when I'm at home except when I'm asleep , but I lock it when I leave home if there is no one in the house awake.
