I grew up late 60s early 70s. We DIDN'T HAVE a key to our house until we were leaving for 2 weeks vacation in 75. Mom talked Dad into getting one. We didn't have a milk box outside our door, our milkman simply came in the open side door and put it in the fridge. And yes keys were usually left in parked vehicles so they could be moved if needed.
Same here, grew up in late 60s and 70s, can't remember ever having a key to the house and it wasn't until the late 70s and 80s that the house was locked when we left. I am lucky enough now to live outside of a small rural community in a rural state and do not lock my doors unless I am leaving for overnight. While at home my keys are all in my vehicles, but I live on a private road with great neighbors, with 3 of 8 properties on the road being Marine Corps vets, we are very aware of who comes and goes.
