- No kidding. My wife comes from a small East Texas town where they
- still don't lock their doors at night. I can't tell you how long
- it took me to get her to always lock the house and car doors like
- it was second nature! Her grandparents think I'm paranoid when we
- come for a visit and I lock the doors after dark.

- Isn't it amazing how some perople take every precaution in the world
- and still fall victim but others go through life without-a-clue but
- don't get so much as a dirty look.
