Locking windows

[Dollgiraffe]

DP and I have just had a row as I asked him to lock the window when he closed it ( downstairs, front lounge one). He said no one locks windows. I said why wouldn’t you?! There’s nothing to be lost by doing it but could be by not doing it. Who is right? It’s me isn’t it!?

Definitely locked and keys near each window. Nothing stops thiefs but slowing them down might make the difference.

We don’t even lock the door usually. Never locked a window.

I don’t lock them, I even leave the small upstairs ones open when I go out if weather is nice. Think it depends on location as to how safe it feels. In my area a stranger trying to get into the house would be obvious to any of my neighbours and visa versa. I might well lock windows if I lived in a busy city though.
