Is it safe to leave the front door unlocked at night in the US? (piefed.social)

I know that in certain countries like Japan or South Korea: it's normal to leave the front door unlocked since the probaility of someone breaking in is low since their crime rate isn't high. I knew a friend of mine who resides in Korea where they even left the car unlocked with the keys inside, can you do either of those things in America?

Yeah nah cunt. You don't include Alaska in that as it's pulling a lot of weight.

Contiguous US is 8.08. Still slightly larger than Australia but only byy a dick hair.

This is the most Australian argument I've read, I even read it in my best Australian accent.

Some of my inspiration for my internal Australian accent include:

"Fosters, Australian for beer!"

"That's not a knife, THIS is knife!"

"I'm dry as a dead dingo's donger"

Fun fact: if by some miracle you find Fosters anywhere Australia, if you actually buy it and drink it, you get instantly deported to Manus Island because you're clearly not from around here. Or worse, a pome.

Good to know! I've never bought it in any capacity, I am sure I've heard that sentiment about the 'beer' way back in it's heyday, as well. I'm just in it for the accent.
