No, I'm not paranoid about locking my keys in the car.
nope,
not at all.

The doors in my first car could be locked only when shut, thus
making it impossible to lock the
door from the outside without the key. So I formed good habits
early, and reinforced them long:
I drove that car daily for over seven years.

It's been 34 years since it went to the junkyard, and I *still*
have
never once locked keys in a
car. And I expect I never will. It's just automatic now.

I just check the key hook before closing the last door.

I pat the keys in my pocket when I pass through an exterior or car
door.

Ditto. That's the only place I ever put my keys. It sucked when
I
changed into shorts one summer and habit caused me to lock the
door
as
I went to check the mail. Had to dig up my house key, which was
buried. I would never leave a key in a house plant or under a
rock,
let alone one of those fake key-hiding rocks, like some people's
kids.

I cringed and quickly turned down that shrill voice. Take some
voice
lessons, lady. I loved how she casually tossed out the $279 price
of
the thermostat and only $69 for a link to make your thermostat
remotely controlled. These millennials have the oddest sense of
need
for apps...even $400 ones.

Pass. Internet or phone-connected apps are never going on my life
support, kitchen, or home security hardware, period.


Originally I searched for high security mechanical cipher locks like
the ones on my labs at Mitre, until I found they cost $400~$500.
