Do you lock your car in the garage?

[pcgeek12345]

Hello all. Just wondering if anyone else here (besides me) lock their cars when parked in the garage?

 

[Big D 51]

I do. I always lock it no matter where I am at.

 

[Mr. McMac]

My detached garage has no windows and is alarmed. Really no need to lock my car.

 

[Carterxx]

I do, but more or less out of habit than necessity.

 

[hexonxonx]

Yes. I lock it at all times.

 

[wordoflife]

Nope

 

[quagmire]

I do. Just another way to deter, detect, and/or delay a potential robber.

Condo, with an underground garage, and an over-head door. Secure'ish.

I lock it, but don't set the alarm.

 

[PlaceofDis]

i would if i had a garage.

 

[Macky-Mac]

yes, I lock it out of habit. I get out of the car, I lock it.... wherever I'm leaving it

 

[S.B.G]

Yep. Always lock my vehicle; whether at home or anyplace I leave it.

 

[Shrink]

I always lock my car - no matter where it is.

 

[BreakGuy]

Not usually, no. If we're going away on an extended holiday I may do if I remember.

Our garage is too filled with crap for a car to fit in it. (Not to mention, my brother's motorcycle is right in the middle of it).


So, our family's cars have to be parked on driveway and curb in front of house. And there, they get locked. Unless its for a quick stop at home to rush in and take a bathroom break.

I usually leave it unlocked on the street.

 

[ucfgrad93]

I don't lock my car if it is in the garage.

With recent cars the risk is not getting your car stolen, but getting whatever you have inside stolen.

I usually leave it unlocked on the street.

Same here. Someone once broke my rear window to steal what they thought was a laptop bag, but left $700 in liquor and wine from a wedding the night before untouched. Fools.

 

[macquariumguy]

Yes.

I usually leave it unlocked on the street.

Does your mastiff sleep in it at night, my Lord?

I leave it in the garage unlocked with the keys in it. My garage is secure and that way I can always find the keys. Plus I don't leave anything in my car besides a CD or two and some napkins. The garage is attached to my house, and I'm not hemmed in near any neighbors so I don't worry about it.

Do you have a house entrance inside the garage, and do you have a house key on the car-key fob?

There is a door that leads into the house but I use a keychain that only has the car's key and alarm fob on it. I also lock the door from the garage to the house at night. There are no windows, and I don't have a garage door opener (the code kind) on the outside of the house.

Edit: to reflect the post two below, this is a single family residence.

 

[gramirez2012]

Nope.

Should've made this a poll. I'm surprised by the number of "yes" answers, since I don't. Plus, it should be specified if you're talking about a private garage / single family residence, or a place where you share garage space with other tenants / owners.

How many of you who said yes also lock the door from the garage into your house, if attached? No need, I say. If you have another door into the garage, keep that door locked. If you don't, or if you do, just don't leave the garage door opener remote outside of the garage.
