Its a laptop and they get stolen easily. Its nice to know its a secure
computer and nobody can nose around in easily. Here when we go to the
gas station you dont leave keys in the car or leave it running and you
lock your home. I just like the idea its tamper resistant. Laptops are
a theives 1st choise anywhere.

That's sad.
Here in small town midstate Illinois we commonly see pickup trucks in
the winter parked in front of the 'Fuzzy Duck' with engines running.
Not very energy thrifty, but beats having to wait for seat heaters to
work. Folks that move here from the big cities are said to be the only
ones bothering to lock their doors. But we do have effective
neighborhood watches (OK, nosey neighbors) and an unusually alert and
modern police force. Some call it peaceful. some boring. And we do
have a lot of licensed gun owners. Go figure.

I live with in a rural area and I'm with Joe on this one. I never
take the keys out of the switch. If I did, I'd probably lose them. I
thought about one of those self-start thingies for the car -- the kind
where you put the fob on the keychain. I couldn't figure out why I'd
want one. Why would I want to walk to my car to get the key fob to
push to start the car when I'm standing right next to the car anyway
because I had to walk out there to get the fob. It makes no sense.

As for the house, gee I hope no one locks the door. I have no idea
where the key is -- even if I have a key. Besides, what good is a
locked door when someone could just crawl in a window?
