I’ve slept all night with that back door wide open before, and gone to work and left it like that too. Both by accident though, but nothing ever happened.
No not since i got robbed while asleep when on holiday.
I wouldn’t.. You’re never more vulnerable than when you’re asleep..
Brorehamwood.
I always do!… it’s bad I know but I dont remember!
Do it all the time but we do live in Devon
yes, every night. it has no lock. but then, i live on a boat.
i wouldnt do it intentionaly, no matter where i lived, i have dont it by accident and nothing happened but scared me in case somet couldve happened.
F@ck no, didn’t realise people still did this even. Ate him alive for doing it, ye could be murdered in ye’re beds all cause hes thick enough to leave the bloody door open
I don’t intentionally, but I have a dog. She barks if anyone even has the audacity to walk past the house, so I feel pretty secure.
I do all the time
I lock all the doors but could leave them open. VERY little crime where I live.

No, there’s only a small chance someone would come in but I still don’t like those odds
yes, not a problem, we live in a nice country area, and maisy mastiff will also let us know if theres some body arround
i live in a semi-rough area, so i actually have trouble getting to sleep unless i check to make sure its locked first
hick town usa…heck ya i leave the doors unlocked and keys is in every single vehicle we own! lol!!!!! if they want something bad enough they will get it no matter if it is under lock and key…think about it…people’s homes are broken into and vehicles are stolen every day!
not in my country! if you have a secure security gate then maybe
I won`t even leave my chickens open incase theres a fox around. No!
never done intentionally but we live in a quiet cul-de-sac, have left the back door unlocked but if anyone chanced it the first greeter they would get is a 3 stone Labrador!
I would always lock the door. Through my job I have good crime prevention knowledge and you wouldn’t believe how easy it is to break into a house where the door is unlocked.
One day it could be your house broken into and I wouldnt wish that on anyone.
We are in a second to none neighbourhood and very safe and i have 2 cops next door!! But i still give my mrs a severe rollicking when she doesn’t lock the door!!You never know who’s passing by??
No Chance! Mainly because if i was robbed i imagine my insurance would be void and thats definitely not worth it!!
No I usually make sure is all secure at night. I have accidentally left it unlocked but luckily nothing has happened… But best not to take chances..
Had you have asked this five or six years ago when I lived in Bromley, the answer would have “not under any circumstances”. Now I live in a lovely sleepy town (its just become a town) called Selsey. Its quite unique because its on a Bill and to get to it you have an eight mile drag on a single Road. We have little or no trouble because the Police can close that one road and trap any wrong doer quite easily. 99% of the locals are English, with the exception of the summer when we get holiday makers. It would not worry me to much if I left the door unlocked. I do think your young man should be a little more considerate with your wishes
No chance,it’s not a bad area but I live in a pub and the temptation may just be a little to hard to fight!
Always make sure external doors are locked, and the downstairs windows. Any upstairs windows of unoccupied rooms are closed too.
I’m a light sleeper and have heard someone trying the door on more than one occasion, so has my neighbour.
No freaking way. I live in a major metropolitan area with lots of property crime.
Yes, I can, but we have a fenced yard, motion sensor lights, and 2 dogs – a little one that barks at EVERYTHING, and a big scary one.
i never lock the back door. we live in a quiet place in sussex. i dont have anything to steal and when i am home my dog is always with me so i am perfectly safe. if anyone tried to break in they would probably end up leaving the place tidier than when they found it. they would have a job getting along the lane too when its rained too much. i keep my car in a mess for this very reason. who would nick a car thats full of receipts and random bits and pieces?? if i were a robber i would go for the nice tidy car and the nice tidy house with lots of gadgets and money inside.
i never lock my doors you dont know where i lve do you jk lol
No definitely not these days, Your boyfriend should have more consideration for you. The scenario is that it will never happen to me but believe me in this day and age it can happen so quickly to anyone. I live in a house being a father who can look after himself and two strapping sons, we still lock up and take all precautions. There are some evil people out there.Take care
Only on Mondays when I’m feeling suicidal.
no
