It's weird to me that you WOULDN"T feel secure doing that. I grew up in a rural community where you left your car keys in the car and the door unlocked. It wasn't uncommon to see $100,000+ pieces of farm equipment sitting out in the field with the keys still in them.

To me it seems odd that you would tolerate having to lock everything up.

I will observe that farm equipment vs electronic equipment usually have a huge difference in physical size. Also you seem to be referring to motorable farm equipment.But i assume they don't have a very good speed.* *- I may be wrong about the speed limit part.

It really depends on where you are from. If you are born and raised in Asia, or in urban America, I don't think you would feel comfortable leaving things unlocked.

Last time I checked, Windsor, Ontario, Canada has such a friendly neighborhood that they do often leave their home doors unlocked. Whether that's a good idea or not, it is up to you. Personally, I keep it locked, just for a peace of mind.
