Grew up in a small, rural Illinois town. No one, and I mean no one locked doors. You would go to a friend's house, knock on the door a couple times, then open it. You'd peek your head inside and say "hello" and if someone answered, you were good to go inside. If no one answered, you left. My grandparents didn't start locking their doors until about 10 years ago. Meth and Chicago transporting juvenile delinquents down south brought the crime.
I lived in a small rural town in Illinois when we raised our kids. None of us locked our doors. To this day, some people in town still do not lock their doors. It was such a blessing to raise our children in that town.
We did not leave our doors unlocked in the 80s. I don't know anyone who ever did that.
