I can't answer for other parts of the US, but my city has the highest murder 
rate per capita in my state, so I definitely lock my doors at all times.  
After all, I don't care if someone gets in while I'm not there--my property 
can be replaced.  What I'm worried about is while me and my children are 
home.

We've also just had a serial killer who walked in on his victims through 
unlocked doors, so my thinking here was reinforced.

It's a sad thing, but necessary.

I have gotten in a bit of trouble though when my dh would be working outside 
and I'd forget that he was out there and lock him out!  He thinks it's a 
sign of repressed hostility or something.  Ummm....of course not.  :)
