I never lock my car at home. I have a locked, secure garage. What would the point be.

As to TNJies "I don't understand opening the door before shutting the vehicle off".

I used to be a pizza driver in college. People would joke that I would be out of the car before it stopped moving! To this day, I still take my seat belt off a 1/2 block early and put in on a 1/2 block late (after starting to drive). Time is $$ !!
