I'm not a fan, really. I don't like locking doors or ringing a door bell or knocking on a door to get in. Maybe it just slows me down. I used to park my car on my driveway and leave the car unlocked. Years ago we think that someone took a small cassette player from my car when I left it unlocked. I still left my car unlocked. Occasionally, I have locked my car door, at a mall or when I'm going to be gone awhile, but I really don't like the idea at all.
A couple years ago my wife told me that there were some robberies of unlocked cars in the neighborhood and asked me if anything was taken from my car. I answered no without giving it a second thought. The next day I went to get some change in my car and found only one penny stuck to the change slot and I knew what happened. The other morning I found a penny on the ground outside my car and I knew that all my change(a few dollars) was taken. I didn't mention it to my wife, but it got me thinking that I do keep my GPS in the car also and I didn't want to lose that. I hated locking my car, but I did it.
Doing a lot of deliveries in NJ and PA I would sometimes come across an office that was locked in the middle of the day. I always found it amusing, maybe they have a lot of money in there or they are CIA inside. In South Carolina, I've found more offices locked during the day and I asked someone why the door is locked. "There are a lot of crazies out there," she said. "In South Carolina?", I replied. It's hard to believe that some people feel it's necessary to lock their front door in a place where people are so friendly. Maybe they have some loose change or a small tape recorder they don't want to lose?
