I know that in certain countries like Japan or South Korea: it’s normal to leave the front door unlocked since the probaility of someone breaking in is low since their crime rate isn’t high. I knew a friend of mine who resides in Korea where they even left the car unlocked with the keys inside, can you do either of those things in America?


I’m more worried about my door blowing open and my pets getting out. Locking the door takes like 1 second and I do it out of habit. Whether it’s safe or not to not leave it unlocked isn’t even a thought that enters my mind. Everyone that needs to be inside is inside. If someone else comes they can knock. Why would I leave it unlocked? Like, for real, it’s one second of effort.
