Bowling for Columbine: Locks

I recently saw Bowling for Columbine. In the movie (for those who haven't seen it) Michael Moore visits a Canadian neighborhood in some major city and checks the front door of homes (all of which are unlocked). His point was Canadians are more trusting and less paranoid about their safety.
My question are:
How many of you leave your doors unlocked?
Is this a common practice in Canada?
Are Canadians less paranoid about home security (compared to americans)?
I live in the USA and don’t but I'm in the country where there isn't any crime. |

| now that I moved to the ghetto two three weeks ago the door is always locked. It's a shared house and everyone has to lock it at all times. |

Eh, I believe it has to do with population size of the town also. I know when I lived out in the country (low pop density) of the US, a lotta people never locked their doors, but now I am in a crime filled area with over a million people (high pop density) and you better believe people are locking their doors.
But you should check how many people leave their cars unlocked, it is insane. |

| i don't lock my door... but i'm sure lots of people do. i live in the suburbs, if i lived closer to the city i probably would. i'm not paranoid about safety. i, personally, have been a victim of crime only once: i was sitting at a bus stop late at night (when i was about 15-16) and someone ran up behind me and punched me in the face, and stole my skateboard. it sucked, but i got over it. |

I live in the nicest neighborhood in my city and I lock my doors unless I'm expecting someone or if I'm just running out of the house really quickly. What are a bunch of rich 80-yr-olds going to steal from my house?? :D

| I live in a dorm right now, but I'm still anal about locking the door. My roomy knows better than to leave without locking it, because I have a $1600 computer, a 27-inch TV, a $400 home theater stereo and about 50 DVDs. Not to mention the fact that my ENTIRE collection of trance is in the CD binders in my drawer and on my hard drive. Basically, everything I own (other than my car) that is important to me is in this room. :toocool: |
