A while ago, I kept locking the front door but my sister and stepdad kept on unlocking it because they believe that "nobody will break in". They trust our neighbors. :/
The front door technically does have a lock but it's broken, so I insist on using the topmost lock that slides to lock the door.

Every time I lock the door my sister just unlocks it again...

Your family has weird OCD. I knew someone that was that way except they had to check every door to make sure it was locked

My neighbors actually broke in to investigate. But my family doesn't fucking believe me, because there was no "evidence". This woke me up and I learned all about home security since.

I guess that would make sense if you lived in the woods with like two other people by you. However in most cases people other than your neighbors are going to be near your house at times.

I once had an ex who lived in a really small town who said her family didn't lock the door because it would be a sign of mistrust to the neighbors. But it seemed to me like your neighbors keeping that keen an eye on the state of your door locking situation was a good argument for keeping it locked.

My neighbors are damn stalkers and they're clever about it too. But they always left traces. It's just those traces wont convince my family shit because it doesnt affect them. They literally investigated my room because they're assholes.

I could live in the middle of nowhere and I'll still lock and deadbolt all doors, install burglar bars on all of my windows, and install 10 cameras from all angles.

I don't give a fuck who you are.

umm yeah just lock it bro. iirc there was a serial killer that only targeted people with unlocked doors. i think it Richard Chase. at the very least you can prevent that kind of serial killer. ofc not everyone will follow this rule tho but still better than nothing right?

I couldnt lock it because my little sister keeps unlocking it, so family members can come inside from outside.

The first thing a burglar does is try the doorknob. Then he looks for open windows.

I never understood keeping any door unlocked. Even in "safe" or nice neighborhoods there is occasionally a report of some person simply trying the doorknob and waltzing on in. I would absolutely hate to be featured on some true crime channel or podcast and they mentioned my door was unlocked overnight lol

I bet they wouldn't trespass anymore if there were Home Alone style traps.

What's morally right or wrong is meaningless in this context, if somebody has a motive to fuck with you, and there's an opportunity to do it, they will do it. They literally believe I deserve it - MOST of my neighbors... because of something I did.

Honestly you might need to do something drastic like stage a break in. Have them wake up to the front door wide open and their shit missing/turned over in the living room.

Your family is secretly rural-canadian.

Probably grew up in like Portage La Prairie in Manitoba (think 200 miles north of Minneapolis)

They live in a city. They're a little too trusting of people...

I even showed my sister how they broke in (successfully), and it seems she doesnt give a shit, because our friendly neighbors have no motive.

Do not invest too much time into these neighbors because this is what they are like. Most anything that you can do would take too much effort and might not even work.

If you can, put a password on your phone.
