Everyone should lock the doors to our cars, our homes, etc. doing so won't prevent crime, but it will deter it.
Locking your doors does not mean you have fear... It means you know we live in a fallen world laced with crime. I don't lock my doors because I have fear, I have peace because I lock my doors.
