When not in use I always lock my back door.

I lost my keys once, eventually found them in the ignition of my car where they had probably been for about 24-48 hours…

I left the keys in my (much unused) motorbike for about 3 weeks! It was still there but a safe neighbourhood thankfully.

Hawkley you need more than locks...

My missus locks it as an impulse I'm just to trusting and forgetful.

Though got my unlocked car riffelled through one night!

Getting a bit more proactive now though after that.

Not normally up untill about 9pm. All locked after that for bed. I just don't like the feeling of locking myself in rather than locking the world out. Sure someone might come in, but it's not very likely.

Not usually, but our house is difficult to get into as the front gates are old, stiff and feel like they're locked unless you have "skillz" to open it. A neighbour had a "walk in" while she dozed on the sofa and they took her handbag and car keys but I'm a little dubious as the house is half way up a cul-de-sac and it all seemed a little suss to me!

Do you believe in Fairies and Leprechauns as well?
Cos I reckon anyone that doesn’t lock thier doors must live in a fantasy world

Sounds like jealousy from living in a world of anxiety and paranoia.
I don't lock up my Tripster outside the local Tesco Express either.

For added security, I like to pry open my neighbours patio doors with a pair of garden shears thus making their house a much more attractive proposition for the casual burglar

We always do after we got broken into a number of years ago when we were out. They didn’t take anything because we think our dogs disturbed them but strangely enough two weeks later our T5 got nicked from in front of the house. Last year a friend of mine, who lives with his elderly mother together, had „visitors “ in the middle of the night who stole his wallet from his bedside table whilst he was sleeping in his bed! Left his car keys though as his car is an absolute wreck.

Yes behind me. I don’t want someone stealing my bike.
