Yeah, I remember never locking the house...I wonder if we even had a key. It was a nice 2 story house, nice town, great neighbors...no murders, no kidnapping, playing outside all over the neighborhood without fear.
Now I read news from the town I grew up in and it is unrecognizable.
Fortunately around here we still don’t lock the doors.
Bought my town here in this north Georgia town in 2003. I’d looked at it several times over the period of almost a year. I never had to go find an agent or get a key from a lock box, it was ALWAYS open. During the whole time, no one entered and vandalized, stole or otherwise harmed it.
The only vandals we get in the subdivision are a racoon or two, sometimes a coyote, and once, even a brown bear. No thieves, though.
