I am a bit quirky about keeping my house and car locked all the time.
I grew up in a rural area and although our house was never robbed we would occassionally have a stranger show up unannounced and my mom did not feel comfortable answering the door when my father wasn't around.
She used to practically bolt and chain the door as soon as I stepped foot outside the home and I guess I picked up the habit. I just make it a habit of locking my car even if I am standing right beside it or locking my front door even if it is midday and I am home.
My wife thinks it's strange but it was just a habit I got into as a kid and it isn't anything that enters my conscious brain.
