"home false sense of security" :P

How do you guys keep your home when you are at home?

all doors closed and locked but i do leave windows open sometimes for a breeze. our house is not big so i'm in earshot of everything which puts me more at ease with that. sometimes i'll pop the screendoor at the back of the house open but its typically when i'm in the rooms next to it.

i'll never understand people that just leave the garage up/open all day or night. its basically just another room in your house with all your shit in it right next to the sidewalk. do you WANT stuff to just disappear? i had lots of issues at our last place with mice/shrews coming in through the wide open garage to find a warm nook in the cold months too which sucked, so I close it more often in the cold seasons now.
