Do you lock your doors at night

[Campbell]

Present Mrs C is a dedicated lock up warder, ever since her Mother was burgled while she was out in her lambing shed.... I do not always share her dedication to security as I have locked myself out too often.

Our front door is unlocked twice a year to mone the Xmas tree in and out. The kitchen door is locked every night to keep me in.

I think more people die from fires and being unable to open a locked front door than from murderers breaking in

Simple downstairs alarm system, that goes off the cause will suffer instant justice.
Flinging open the curtains on the patio door whilst stark naked and holding a large steak knife probably still traumatises the last scrotes who tried.

We don't ,

Nothing worth stealing!! But what if the mad axeman cometh?!

Doors locked, but an axe would make short work of elderly sash windows. Interestingly, the old mullioned windows have 3/4 " holes for iron bars across the window panes. Back to the dark ages again, maybe ?

Thought you were going to say the mullioned windows had bow and arrow slits!!

Would the iron bars be to keep others out or you in?

Yes, got those too. Useful for firing arrows at the English.

We have to lock the doors as the bloody pet lamb can open the sliding door.

Otherwise, I wouldn't dream of doing so, I would rather my kids could get themselves out of a housefire.
That's easily our highest probability of loss.

Any intruders would be subject to torture by Lego bricks/marbles to the instep, the cats will maim with good intent, and then they'd lovingly be cranially realigned with my wooden cosh that lives under the bed.

Or worst: my wife would get to them first, and she's half the reason I sleep armed

 

[Derrick Hughes]

Now I see why your all to frit to use your real names as you sleep with your doors open
I lock mine and have 10 alsatian dogs loose at night

 

[betweenthelines]

Never lock the doors but perhaps we should.

You never know when someone might try to steal 4 Alsatians and 3 huskies, let alone the collie x that barks at me but not at visitors.

Just about every theft crime would seize to happen in this country if the politicians adopted the attitude of their best friends located in Saudi Arabia, cut the hands off anyone caught stealing. I bet millions of people in this country would support that, especially farmers and tradesmen who have had their vans done over.

We have an excellent benefits system in this country, there is no excuse for anyone to steal off hard working people.

Fuc37s drilled through one of our wagon diesel tanks and took all the diesel ending up with a bill of over £1500 for repairs.

Too much information, not sure if we'd want to see that either....

 

[oldoaktree]

I lock the doors on a night and if I’m in the sheds away from the house . The house is very close to the public road so it’s just sensible to stop people from just being able to walk into the house.
HMO ( houses of multiple occupy) properties have to have thumb turn locks on the doors so any one can unlock the door without a key in case of fire .

You'll unlock a door in a second.
People often don't think to have a plan in place in the case of a fire. That tends to be the biggest problem.
