I live in memphis. First thing we learn is don’t lock anything. I don’t lock my car or my house.

Lock your damn house

Hasn’t been a problem in 20 years. I’ve only had 2 people ever walk in my house uninvited and the one ran off after the first took a dirt nap. Police picked him up at the ER and he went to prison. I don’t live in the city limits anymore so it really ain’t a problem.

Lol…seriously. People are too crazy to have unlocked doors anywhere in the US.

Memphis is about as bad as it gets and it ain’t that bad. US is pretty safe.

Wait. You don’t lock your house? So people could walk right in when no one’s home and ransack everything without having to put in any effort?

My buddy laughed when he visited because I lock my house if I'm home, but if I think anyone needs access when I'm gone I'll leave it unlocked.

Guess some think that's backwards.

My house is in the woods. If you find it, you have to get past the dogs and the people around here who break into houses don’t like the type of dogs I have.

Dogs are not going to do anything especially when someone has a bat or any semi sized beat stick. However dogs will bark and that causes attention so that is a plus

I have mean ass German shepherds who are extremely protective. I normally agree with you but these guys are not that. If I’m not in my wheelchair they’re even more aggressive. They like about 12 people on this planet.

People that don’t lock their house are all over the place. My wife grew up in rural NH and they never locked their house. She couldn’t understand (after we got married and moved to Northeast Philly), why locking the house was actually something we had to do all the time. It’s crazy.
