In Los Angeles, people definately lock their doors when they are in 
the house. I can't think of anyone who doesn't lock their doors at 
night, at the very least. I tend not to do it during the daytime, but 
I probably should.
On the other hand, I have these relatives that live in a tiny little 
town in Iowa, and they never lock their doors. I found this extremely 
shocking, but I guess they don't have any crime in town.
