Do you lock the doors on your car and/or home?

44. Me too

Although I prefer to call them 'ethnically mixed working class neighborhoods'

Sounds better to suburbians.

I couldn't live in a neighborhood without a good mix, truth to tell.

One of the reasons I don't hide my last name at work as many nurses do is because a neighborhood like mine, in a way, carries its own protection. That being said, we lock up tight own a big Rottie/lab mix, and a small-yaps at everybody-pair of dogs.

My husband keeps track of where the registered sex offenders live-- there's always a lot of them in living in neighborhoods like mine. Other types of neighborhoods run Them out if they can. That's the registered ones. We help our Spanish-speaking neighbors with safety ideas as well and we actually have a nice little street, except for the gang wannabes next door. My husband yells at them to 'get your hand out of your pants and pull them up' then he used to hire one of them to mow the lawn. It was pretty funny.
