So.....you dont mind people stealing from you? I dont quite understand your post. I grew up in a neighborhood where no one locked their doors and most left their car keys in the car so they didn't lose them. I didn't feel the neighbors were "brothers", but everybody tended to be respectful of others' person and property. IE if it's not yours dont touch it, and if you do touch it there are consequences.
I agree with Experience Counts that our country as a whole has become far less law abiding and far more disrespectful of others. And why not? You've got teachers, professors and a whole political party glorifying and allowing lawlessness. You've got sensational stories of the police being unlawful - for those few that are. Think Scott Peterson. And very little coverage of those good men and women out there risking life and limb every day, only to have unlawful judges and states attorneys turning the miscreants loose. You even have police going to jail for following the law (think Joe Arpaio). The rule of law is deteriorating before our eyes.

One of my beloveds was essentially murdered by Sheriff Joe's henchmen at the Maricopa County Jail.

A skinny little diabetic boy who, while confused by metabolic acidosis was found redhanded with crumbs on his face at the deli counter of Wal-Mart, where he'd been warned not to trespass and suck up their air conditioning unless he' had a shower (desert, summertime, homeless.)

Six months in the "medical" ward with his diet and medication "properly" supervised by trained personel, then a week on the bus from Arizona to Nashville, he collapsed within hours of my reaquiring him. The ICU nurse said his A1C (a blood test that measures how effectively your diet and medication have been controlled over the previous one to three months) was the highest he'd ever seen in 10 years of treating diabetics.

That happens when your dinner tray gets stolen and they make you take your insulin anyway. And when homeless people are given a month's supply of insulin that is supposed to be kept refrigerated when they live outside in the desert in summertime.

He died within a couple weeks from further complications at 26 years of age.

Here's a question for you, I have locks on my doors do you?
And now that I think about it, I have locks on my windows, garage, and storage buildings too.
Want to know why?

As a child, our house was never locked. Now I lock the doors as soon as I enter the house and even if I'm outside working in the yard. Deadbolts no less.

Why? You might ask. And my answer is this, over the last few years, home invasions have become more common and I just don't get around as well as I once did.

There are almost no consequences for physical attacks in public places and our homes are now our only safe spaces, although those new pesky no warrant search victims who are dead or maimed might disagree.

Some politiciations are publically calling for their political allies to actively harass those who disagree with them and telling them to force those who disagree with their ideas out of public spaces.

Hence a retreat to our homes. Where we might be doxed, and there will be no consequences unless you are supporting the right political party of might.

That's not even mentioning the early releases of criminals because space is too tight in our prison systems or the release of thousands of i*****l a***ns who somehow work in our nation with stolen American identities but just want a better life. Somehow, none of these peoples believe in following our laws and that's okay because our politicians say so. We get to live with them in our middle and lower class neighborhoods, why not those neighborhoods of the politicians and the wealthy?

But I digress, in my garage there are tools, which somehow "disappear" if I forget to close the door when I go inside the house (mechanic tools, racks, shovels) for a couple of hours or overnight. Now we know it's not snowflakes or the Z generation because they only use IT devices, soiling their hands doing actual work is not the norm so why would they steal real working tools?

Adults, real adults, are doing the stealing...and they should know better. They live close, in my neighborhood. How else would they find that rare opportunity to liberate stuff from my property as it is a rare occasion I leave anything unlocked?

Yep, I've locks on windows, doors, storage buildings, and my garage, bet you do too. I double dog dare any politician to leave their castles unlocked.But they don't have to worry, do they? They have gates or gated communities, guards, or personal bodyguards that the average joe doesn't. So maybe they don't need locks.

And yes, I want locks on my border, and real solutions to stop the illegal entry into my country.We as American citizens deserve on less.
