I heard about that. Amazing they were able to do a complete inventory so fast to know nothing was taken. Also suprising everyone had with them and left enough cash to cover what they took. Hmm. Well it could happen I suppose.

Nobody ever locked their doors in the area of Iowa where I grew up. If there happened to be any trouble-makers in the area, everyone knew who they were and watched out for them. People knew their neighbors and helped each other. I miss those days.

We used to go to the service station, fill our cars up, and mark down in the book (we had our own pages) how much we spent. Every month or so my parents would go in and pay the bill.

Re: Nothing stolen!! (grocery store left unlocked overnight)
I live in a small town in Maine and there is still the honor system at some places here.
We have an antique store that has books and things left all the time out front with a jar for leaving money if you buy a book or something. And there is a bait shop that has a box, you take the bait and leave the money.
There are a few other places also.
Other then teenagers doing their usual stuff, we have a very low crime rate.
We don't even have a police dept. we're just covered by the county sheriff dept.

Big Brother doesn't have to watch you... just convince you that you are being watched.

Same thing. People just assume the doors are locked.

Might as well have been. It was a little town in northern Iowa. Very quaint, and everyone knew each other.

i live in a town with about the same size population. we have never locked the house doors and always leave our keys in the cars. when family visit they think we are nuts but its just life here.

that being said i'm not sure the local store would go untouched if it was left unlocked. i'd like to beleive so but with the high school kids i can't see it happening

Sad to think that way...but probably true nontheless. I know my little town was white. In fact, I didn't see a black person until I was in junior high! We had a few Mexicans in the town north of us because of the egg plant and a couple of men were married to Chinese women, but it was 99% white.

I worked at a Naugles in Roseville by a Kmart. Miss those innocent days of my whole 156 dollar paycheck being spent on Christmas presents. The place I worked had the most amazing burritos and tacos and burgers. Best!

I live in a fairly large city and twice I have left my purse in the cart at Wal Mart and walked off with the wrong cart only to discover about a half an hour later what I'd done. (yeah, I know I need to be more careful). Both times I went back to find my purse sitting in the cart untouched. Some of the people in that area don't have a lot of money, but they are honest.
I had this woman from India tell me she loves America because the people are so honest and they don't try to cheat you.

Here on the land called Canada there is a sense of peace and tranquility.

That is not to say we d not have crime, but the OP's post is something that we would not hear about but I am sure happens all the time. The fact that it was in cali is amazing.

I have a bike that I use to go to the store etc and I do not use a bike lock. A friend and I the other day went to a public market to get some take out. He decided that he wanted to eat in the food fair, so we ate. When we came back the my bike (unlocked) was still there in the bike rack. I live by faith and not by sight. You do not always get exactly what you want but all you needs will be met. My friend turned to me and said I need to learn that spell (safe keeping of the things I in the flesh leave unattended) and I told him no spell just live by faith and in the spirit know that it is kept for thee :-)
