Even though we live in one of the safest neighborhoods in the area I still would never leave anything valuable in plain sight. Probably just a habit from living in NYC. Besides, suburbia is always where the real crazies are.

Yep, not to the point where I would leave anything valuable out or leave my door unlocked overnight, but I definitely live in a safe, look out for each other type of community.

This maybe is surprising, considering I live in Boston, but yes, I feel safe. Not to the point that I would leave stuff out in plain site, but I used to leave out door closed but unlocked while walking our dog. I feel safe walking him at any time of night, which is my safety litmus test. But I also won't be stupid and walk down deserted streets tipsy in the middle of the night.

Yes, I think our community is super safe, however I'd only leave valuables locked in my car for a moment and never like to go to bed without the door locked, although my husband has forgotten before. However you can't get used to a presumption that it's always safe. I grew up in a very safe, small town community and in college our home was broken into. You just never know!

I feel safe, although I still wouldn't leave my purse in view in the car! Once in downtown (where I don't always feel safe), I left my car unlocked and it was still there. Guess "they" aren't out to get me. Yea!

Yes, we live in a small town and I feel pretty safe in our neighborhood. At our last house in a different city people used to steal anything not cemented down. The bulbs in our porch lights were constantly being stolen. So creepy!

It's very safe as far as the UK is concerned, but I still wouldn't leave my car or house unlocked if I weren't in it.

I think when you live in a city it's a different level or kind of safety than if you live in the suburbs. I don't have a car, but I'd never leave anything valuable in the car and we don't leave our apartment door unlocked--this is New York City!

However, I moved from a bad neighborhood (as in the occasional gunshot or person harmed/killed by a stray bullet was "normal") to a nice family oriented neighborhood. I feel so much safer, but it's still the city so you have to maintain a general level of watching your back. There have been a few car and garage break-ins as of late, but I don't worry about being hit by a stray bullet!

No way.
