You're right. Lets open the boader to the world's extremist! Very selfish of me not to think as you do.

I say let's open it to those who can master their mother tongue anyway.

(I don't know whether it's even possible for a Sikh to be a Muslim. Is it? I don't think so.) Beating up a Sikh because he's a Sikh of whatever colour is religious bigotry, but not racism, I think.

All right, I've put my hand down now.

So which is it?

I have an old truck and never lock it, well the central locking went wobbly, can not imagine doing that in the UK.

I can't imagine doing that in Boston either. Whilst I have left the car unlocked in some parts of the UK too.

So I don't see what your point is at all as you're not comparing apples to apples.

I'd say less, actually.

I don't drink it at all and, well, look at me ...

I'm curious. Do you really think a dedicated thief is interested in whether your car is locked or unlocked?

Same goes for a house. You really think a thief tests doors to see if they are locked or not?

It's more to deter the opportunist. A 'professional' thief is going to get in no matter what (as I tell my wife when she nags me about not locking my car in the garage ...).

We did have a stereo nicked out of an unlocked (and unused at the time) car in our driveway in a very quiet street a few years back. Joke was on them though, it was a piece of crap :D

I always test doors.

I had someone steal a lock and chain off of a motorcycle once... and leave the motorcycle.

That was disheartening. :lol:
