Do you lock your doors?

No, it doesn't hamper theft, just the insurance company's willingness to pay for it.

I look my room ... but that is because my flat is a train station for hundreds of dodgy people.

I should really get a biohazard suit for when I go out there.

I lock the door to my room because I'm in a shared apartment together with loads of guys.

Not when I'm at home, but I do it at night when I sleep, sometimes when I **** and definitely when I'm out.

Masturbating with an unlocked door in a crowded flat is quite an experience, though

[Ecthy]

It is closed though then, of course

i lock my door, everyone in my flat does, because the funniest game at the moment is waiting for someone to go out with their door unlocked and then move/hide all their stuff. one guy had his whole room moved into the kitchen the other week, i had my curtains nicked when i went out on the lash last month and another guy had his bed put outside perfectly made up and everything, ah the fun of uni...

When I was at uni halls some people used to do that to other people who lived on their floor... only they moved every bit of furniture including beds etc and put it in the lift then sent it on it's merry way up and down the tower.

my room is quite untidy too

I have four locks on my door, not counting the lock on the screen door. I always lock my door. For some reason the alley my apartment faces is the meeting point for most of the crack dealers and male prostitutes in Birmingham and my driveway is incredibly dark. Strange cars and people around all the time.

Don't lock the door to the room that I stay.

I have less stuff than the other boarders who live here, and I'm a good friend of the owner.

The door into the house gets locked when no one is inside, though I don't touch the door even when I'm the only person inside.

I only have one window. I don't use it though, I'm on the third floor. I consider opening my door not to be unlocking it. To get in, I enter my liquid form and slip under the door.

Great Film/Documentary is that, I also found it quite fascinating since we in the UK always lock our doors too, and we dont go round machine gunning each other like the Americans either.

[Q Classic]

yes, because it's an automatic thing, internalized.

i was taught to do it, and so i do.

I've had a distraction burglary (kid comes round the front while his mate goes round the back) and I'm determined not to repeat the experience.

That sucks. I've never heard of this one before. Is it common where you live? What did they steal? How long did the kid at the front door keep you distracted?

Not that I need to worry about it. I doubt any kid would be able to climb up 18 storeys to get in my back window.

I don't lokck it when I'm inside but always when I go out. I usually lock it at night too.
