S/O Do you lock your car

Not when I’m parked inside my garage, which is about 85% of the time. If my car was out in my driveway, then yes. In a store parking lot or parking ramp, definitely.

We carry our garage door openers with us like keys. Never leave them in the car and never use the built in ones.

I voted other. If I parked in the driveway ~ which I NEVER do ~ I would lock it. The latest thing in CA is car break-ins ~ smash and grab. Thanks to our wonderful CA government, it's only a misdemeanor if you steal less than $1000 worth of MY stuff.

I don't lock it when it's in the garage. ETA: I always lock it when I'm out and about.

When I'm out and about, absolutely (left over from being raised in a bigger city). When I'm home I usually do but I'll admit I've been lax about it lately until this week when there were reports around of some punks (presumably kids but no idea) breaking into cars, taking stuff and even destroying some of the interiors so I'm trying to be better about remembering.

I said always, but if the car is in the garage, I don't.

Always lock except when one of us forgets. But I also make a point of never leaving anything of value in the car. DH is not so particular about that and has lost a couple pairs of expensive sunglasses and, most recently, a brand new pressure washer. 😡

I lock my car doors in parking lots but not at home or while driving in my area. We don't have a garage. Even the motorhome is left unlocked. Where we moved from our vehicle doors were always locked. It really depends on where one lives.

Unless my car is in the garage, always. I even lock it if I have to park in the driveway for a short period of time. I grew up in L.A. We locked everything, always. My parents always told us not to leave anything visible in the car.

We dont have a drive, the car lives in a public car park about 100 yards away. So yes, it's always locked. We do, though, leave more in the car than most people on here seem to. I try to empty it when I remember, but I'm not good at it.

We lock ours everywhere, except in our garage.

Always.

Mine automatically locks 30 seconds after the key fob is taken out of the vehicle. I love this feature, because my car is never left unlocked.

It is a regular pastime of teens here to go through the townhouse parking lot late at night to check for unlocked cars and take what they can.

I lost an iPod I had stowed in my glove compartment a few years ago - there was a usb hookup in the glove compartment that allowed you to hook directly to an iPod to play music (this is pre-CarPlay days) - and I used a dedicated ipod. Until I forgot to lock the car one day.

Yes. It would never occur to me to not lock my car. I'm always shocked at people who do. Along with people who leave their purses/wallets in their cars and are then shocked when the car is broken into overnight.
