this is a guy who has multiple armed security guards outside hit home 24/7. Plus the fact he almost certainly has staff and assistants who are coming and going from the house. There is no way you make it to the front door if you are not expected, this is just to save his staff from having to use the key or for someone to open the door for them. This would never be secure enough for a normal persons house

The Canadians beg to differ ;)

Not the ones in Scarborough.

Could you explain your comment for us? I'd guess that maybe Canadians are known for leaving their homes unlocked??

This is a reference to a scene from the Michael Moore movie Bowling for Columbine, where he is walking in a Canadian neighborhood and just opens the front door of someone's house. I couldn't find a better clip than this one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pjJbtb4Bs0Q

Huh, never lock the door when I'm in the house, except at night ... is that unusual? Live in a smaller UK city. Perhaps if we had anything worth stealing it'd be different.

Is it perhaps the US Americans are the peculiar ones and other countries are more like Canada?

Even in Sebastopol (about an hour north of SF), (some) people never lock their front door.

For anyone wondering, the name is not a result of a mistake, apparently 'beta' was commonly transliterated as 'b' in the past (as opposed to 'v', the sound that it stands for).[1]
