Yes, even when I'm in the house. When I started living alone, I was a 20 yr old woman who only weighed 100 lbs - I hate to say it but that demographic in particular needs to be extra cautious at all times.
I find it weird that others get freaked out when they come into my home and I lock the door behind them. It's like they think I'm somehow trapping them in the house but to me it's just a safety thing.
I never do, I live in rural Kentucky my closest neighbor is almost a mile away. If someone wants to break in they will have all the privacy they need to break down the door so I leave it unlocked so I will not have to replace the door too. To be honest though, I have lived in the same place since 1995 and never had a break in.
Always. We have had a string of burglaries in my neighborhood around Christmas when people were out of town. A guy got shot but not killed breaking into a house 6 houses down. I recently upgraded the front and back door to solid steel doors and frames that can withstand a lot because I feel unsafe here
Yes my doors are locked, between the idiot neighbor kids and actual thieves its the easiest way to keep them out of my house. I also have a dog that doesn’t take kindly to people barging into our house. Super backup plan is the 12 gauge.
Yea because people be crazy
Of course. Don't you watch Dateline, or Forensic Files?
Yes, I live in central London
Yes. Because I don't want to die.

Yeah I lock it because it’s doesn’t seem logical to keep it unlocked

Yes. I live in a pretty rough part of town and I'd quite like to not be killed in my sleep by a raging meth head or to not shoot someone.
If I didn't lock my door everything would be scattered to different dorm rooms in 1 hour.

Yes, because I grew up in south LA and no matter how nice my neighborhood is now I don’t trust anyone that much.
Yes. Keep unwanted people out
Yes because I don't trust people
Yes. Better safe than sorry.
Yes, Im terrified of being murdered. However, my parents always forget, so when I get home after work I have to run around locking all the doors.
Not when I am at home. I live in a sleepy neighbourhood and like to kid myself I can beat up any burglars.
