Have Your Say

We've all been there - it's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, and you're finally getting to enjoy your backyard. Maybe you're grilling, maybe you're just relaxing with a good book, but one thing's for sure: you're home.  So why bother locking your doors, right?

Wrong!

It might seem like overkill, but locking your doors, even when you're just in the backyard, is crucial for keeping your home safe. Here's why:

• It takes seconds:  A thief doesn't need much time to slip into your unlocked house. They can be in and out in *less than a minute**, grabbing valuables and disappearing before you even notice they were there.
• It's not just about valuables:  Think about it -  your home is filled with personal items, documents, and maybe even sentimental things that can't be replaced.  Would you want someone to have access to all that just because you were outside for a few minutes?
• You never know:  Even if you live in a safe neighborhood, it's not worth taking the risk.  You never know when someone might be lurking around, looking for an easy target.

So, next time you're enjoying your backyard, take a few seconds to lock your doors.  It's a small effort that can make a big difference in protecting your home and your peace of mind.

What are your thoughts? Do you always lock your doors, even when you're home?
